This is an old revision of the document!
Characters can only gain 1 full point in each category per month.
Players are responsible for putting in their own renown requests, in the month that the action has happened. You cannot 'save' a renown request from July and put it in August because you're already over the 1 full point cap. If you forget, that renown is lost. Please put those requests in as quickly as possible so you do not miss out.
Garou wishing to challenge for rank should challenge someone of a higher rank in the appropriate auspice, or they may challenge the Master of Challenge. If this challenge is to a PC, the challenge should be cleared with the STs as appropriate before it is offered IC.
Necessary time active in order to challenge for Rank:
Cliath to Fostern: Minimum of 2 months Fostern to Adren: Minimum of 4 months as a Fostern Adren to Athro: Minimum of 6 months as an Adren Athro to Elder: Minimum of 6 months as an Athro
Retirement: If you retire a character and your 25% refund for a new werewolf character causes you to start with 100xp or more you may start play as a Fostern character, however please note this will require an accompanying backstory that is more detailed than we would ask of a Cliath backstory. Also your character will be a bit older than most cliaths as a result due to their enhanced training.
We are using the Renown Sample Awards from the book. (If you think you have done something worthy of renown but do not see a matching listing in the book, please feel free to ask the STs. We will happily suggest something for you to put in if it is worthy.)
However as you gain rank, you are expected to do more and as such the amount of renown you earn for your actions is less.
You will put in your renown requests as normal, using the suggested renown from STs for scenes or building your request from the Sample Awards in the book, then apply the modifier below yourself before actually submitting the request.
Some renown rewards will still be honored for the full amount! Some of those rewards are not on the sample renown list in the book but will be suggested by the STs at the time it happens.
Examples of these might be the renown for leading a group of Garou into battle and bringing back everyone alive.
There are TWO separate Renown ratings. Permanent and Temporary. I will bold and italize accordingly.
Let's say you start with this:
| Month | Glory | Honor | Wisdom |
|---|---|---|---|
| January | 1 | 1 | 1 |
In the month of February, you managed to gain:
| Month | Glory | Honor | Wisdom |
|---|---|---|---|
| February | 1 .5 | 1 .3 | 1 .10 |
When March starts, this is what happens: Temporary resets if below .10 and .10s turn into 1 Permanent.
| Month | Glory | Honor | Wisdom |
|---|---|---|---|
| March | 1 .0 | 1 .0 | 2 .0 |
Now let's say you gain this in one month:
| Month | Glory | Honor | Wisdom |
|---|---|---|---|
| April | 1 .10 | 1 .5 | 2 .13 |
In the next month, what you would do is this:
| Month | Glory | Honor | Wisdom |
|---|---|---|---|
| April | 1 .20 | 1 .5 | 2 .13 |
| ⇒ | 2 .10 | 1 .0 | 3 .3 |
| ⇒ | 2 .0 | 1 .0 | 3 .0 |
| May | 2 .0 | 1 .0 | 3 .0 |
If you note, Glory had .20 and usually that would mean 2 Perm Glory, right? Unfortunately, you can only gain 1 Perm per month, as written at the very start of this page. Thus, that extra .10 is lost.
Same with Wisdom having .13, the .10 converts to 1 Perm and the extra .3 is lost.
