If a player is approved at Rank 0, goes through their Ananasi Education 101 (has read the Breedbook), is assigned their Faction and Aspect and gains the renown to reach Rank 1, then they gain gifts and renown as usual for Rank 1 and their Aspect/Faction.
- These gifts don't cost XP.
Sample Renown Awards
Note: These are not uniformly objective. They may be rejected/reduced/increased based on circumstances.
Note: These are not exhaustive. If something doesn't seem to fit here, or isn't found in this list, but still serves one of these types and the Ananasi's purpose, then go ahead and submit a request.
The following types have been tinted for ease of reading and browsing:
- These awards and penalties are directly from the established renown lists, with changes limited to specifying the Ananasi breed.
Items in Black are positive renown awards.
Items in Red are negative renown penalties
- These awards and penalties have been either created from scratch, or taken from lists and more heavily reworded for the Ananasi breed.
Items in Blue are positive home-brew renown awards
Items in Purple are negative home-brew renown penalties
Sources: Players Guide to the Changing Breeds pages 42-52, Ananasi Breedbook
NOTE: Any instance of 'Ovid' within this list may be substituted for Vampire, Ghost, Changeling, whatever NON-ANANASI creature your character interacts with as a pawn to its schemes. As a shifter breed, this chart is obviously defaulted to the shifter world, mainly to save line space. Ananasi that do not associate with shifters do not lose any of these renown opportunities.
