Deed Glory Notes
Flee battle without cause -Rank "Without cause" means no IC justification would satisfy your auspice/tribe/breed elders.
Make a decision in combat that gets a sept ally killed -3x Rank -2xRank Wisdom - Double this penalty if the death is a shifter.
Needlessly escalate to combat and then cause lasting consequences -Rank
  • -Rank Wisdom

There was a reasonable non-combat alternative, and now your allies have to deal with a new, preventable enemy or have to cover up for you forensically, etc.

Stray from an agreed-on plan in a way that leads to consequences in combat (or combat itself) -Rank
  • -Rank Honor
  • -Rank Wisdom
  • For instance, the Battle Master gave you orders. You took artistic liberty, rustling up complications.
Succumb To Any Type Of Frenzy -Rank Entering Frenzy is one thing, 'Succumbing' is to enter Frenzy and then make no meaningful effort to withdraw, restrain yourself, or minimize harm once aware of the loss of control (e.g. not spending Willpower). We make this adjustment to bring punishment based on choices, not RNJesus's blessings. If you enter Thrall of the Wyrm, you will lose Renown due to the lack of capacity to spend WP: buying Rage up to 6+ is, after all, a choice.

Combat Threat Levels

  • Minor Threat: Combat took less than 3 rounds, nobody took more than 3 damage, and/or nobody spent over 3 WP+Rage
  • Average Threat: Combat took 3-5 rounds, enemy rolled 5+ damage dicepool at any point, and/or a shifter took at least 3 damage in one hit
  • Strong Threat: Combat took 6+ rounds, enemy rolled 8+ damage dicepool at any point (that could kill you!), and/or a shifter took at least 5 damage in one hit.
  • Powerful Threat: Combat took 6+ rounds, the enemy rolled 15+ damage dicepool at any point, and either a shifter was incapacitated at any point, or had to exhaust all willpower and rage to win.
