Renown House Rules

Helpful Commands

+renown: Show current renown.
+renown/log: Show a log of renown awards (default last 30 days).
+renown/log <days>: Show renown going back some number of days.

Basic House Rules

Renown in W20 Core and W20 Changing Breeds is modified for MUSH play.

The book is written for table-top play. MUSH players are daily contributors.
With 24 hour play available, it's easier to accrue Renown.
Therefore, we've removed the book-written renown totals, otherwise people will be ranking up too fast without the xp and stats to match.

Renown is modified based on Rank Level and story value.
The Spirits (aka Staff) are the ultimate judges for Renown based on deeds.
Shifter Litanies and Creeds are weighed for rewards vs loss.

Monthly Awards

Monthly participation in a ST event/story is required to earn monthly Sept duties & responsibilities rewards, but you're responsible for putting the requests in yourself.
- +0.2 Honor (awarded if criteria is met).
These awards are open to Fera and Garou alike.
If you forget to request something right away, that's okay, but we'll only back-date renown by 30 days.

Mystic/Crafting

You may earn Wisdom for teaching and learning rituals.
- +0.1 Wisdom per ritual taught (max 0.2 per month for teaching)
- +0.1 Wisdom per ritual learned (max 0.2 per month for learning)
You may earn +0.1 Wisdom for crafting Talens and Fetishes.
- +0.1 Wisdom per batch of Talens made (max +0.2 per month for Talen crafting)
- +0.1 Wisdom per Fetish made (max +0.2 per month for Fetish crafting)
These awards are open to Fera and Garou alike.

Ranking requirements

Aside from renown point requirements for a new rank, staff has further stat and activity requirements for rank.
- Gaining rank isn't meant to be solely a means for more power and authority, it's a symbol of leadership and active duty to Gaia/Sea/Ananasa/etc.
