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.
- 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 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)

- 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.
Garou Renown
- These are samples and suggestions, not a fixed list of exact deeds and awards. Staff will use this as a guide and adjust accordingly to match the involvement of plots at hand and keep the game as balanced as possible.
