Renown House Rules

Welcome to the Renown page!

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, renown tables have been modified for story pacing value.

Renown is modified based on Rank Level and story value.
The Spirits 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.
You may submit a monthly renown request for Sept chore and duty participation.
- +0.2 Honor (awarded if criteria is met).
These awards are open to Fera and Garou alike.

Mystic/Crafting

You may earn Wisdom for teaching rituals.
- +0.1 Wisdom per ritual taught (max 0.2 per month for teaching)
You may earn Wisdom for learning rituals.
- +0.1 Wisdom per ritual learned (max 0.2 per month for learning)
You may earn +0.1 Wisdom for crafting Talens.

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/Ananasi/etc.
These requirements will be listed alongside each breed's renown charts.
