* [[Fera Renown]]
+
The werecat Renown fits fairly well with their feline nature.  Based on individual achievement first and foremost, the cats do not concern themselves too much with their servitude to Gaia when measuring Renown.  Their three categories are as follows.
** [[Bastet Renown]]
 
** [[Gurahl Renown]]
 
** [[RatkinRenown|Ratkin Renown]]
 
* [[BSD Renown]]
 
* [[Hengeyokai Renown]]
 
* [[Kinfolk Renown]]

<center>'''''This is the Law of the Shaping of Secrets.'''''</center>
 
<center>'''''This is the Law of the Change.'''''</center>
 
 
*'''Honor Yourself'''
 
We hold magic within ourselves, within our hearts and minds and spirits. To dishonor ourselves is to disperse that magic and scatter our souls.
 
:'''''We are to remain clean''''' - To cleanse ourselves of filth, divest ourselves of our former lives, care for our own health and avoid the inbreeding sickness. Possession is unclean, and we must shake other spirits from our skins, lest they taint our own.
 
:'''''When we fail''''' - We must purify ourselves with washing, seek cures for our sickness, raise the deformed ones we bear and cleans our souls with ceremony. If the Unmaker's spawn ride us t destruction, we are obligated to take our own lives. If we do not, others will do it for us.
 
----
 
*'''Honor your Word'''
 
We are the wisest of the Changing Breeds, and come from places that respect the meaning of honor. Let the dogs and monkeys piss on trust; we are honest Folk - with each other, at least. It's acceptable to lie to other creatures; they are not of our blood and not bound by our laws.
 
:'''''We are to remain truthful''''' - To break no oaths before the Folk, and make no false witness against one of our kind. A promise made is a bond sworn to Seline; we will act on it as if the goddess Herself would punish us for our failure. We will flee to survive a fight, but will not run when others depend on our strength.
 
:'''''When we fail''''' - We must make restitution to those we deceive, in deeds, trade or money. We may be challenged to Hanshii or punished by rite. We may be exiled or branded. At the very least, we will be disgraced, and remembered as liars to all of the Folk.
 
----
 
*'''Honor your Kin and Kind'''
 
We remember the Kinfolk who keep our kind alive, and we respect our cousins in the other tribes. The great cats are more precious than our human lovers, but both of them are blood relations. All Bastet are sacred in the light of the moon, and our sternest oaths protect us in these twilight times. All our laws pertain to Kin and Kind, and we respect each other as siblings under the moon.
 
:'''''We are to remain just''''' - To quarrel not with each other without cause, to seek open restitution and honorable combat, to respect a challenge and the challenger, and to obey the lorespeaker and host of the Taghairm. When our Kin and Kind are in danger, we will aid them; when they cry, we will succor them.
 
:'''''When we fail''''' - We will take the judgement of our fellows, distance ourselves from our Kind, forsake the Taghairm and accept the brand of the oathbreaker. If we allow our Kin to come to harm, we will accept that their spirits will carry news of our cowardice, and we accept that label as just.
 
----
 
*'''Honor your Earth'''
 
We are the children of the moon and the earth together, shaped by the fathers, sired by the mother, and suckled by the teats of Seline and Gaia as one. When corruption eats at the heart of our world, when the Asura devour the spirit of the land, we will not stand by. Our weapons are many - secrets, claws, teeth, and allies - and we will not hesitate to employ them for our world's survival. Our people have walked too close to extinction for us to take such matters lightly.
 
:'''''We are to remain fierce''''' - To poison not the earth nor allow it to be ruined. We will inform others of plans to pollute the wild and hunt down poachers of game. We will stand beside the other Killi, even the hated dogs, if that means stopping the demons. We will not ally ourselves with shadow powers or drink corrupted wisdom. We will stand brave in the face of the unmaker's wrath and we will triumph.
 
:'''''We do NOT fail our Earth and mother.''''' - That path leads to death.
 
----
 
*'''Honor your Silence'''
 
We are the keepers of secrets, and our fates depend on silence. Each of us bears the hidden doom of our own people, and we know the cost of betraying that trust. We also know that we have what others want - or what they ''think'' they want - and it amuses us to make them squirm. Our knowledge is our concern. We will not share it unless we wish to.
 
:'''''We are to remain quiet''''' - Never let our Yava leave our lips, nor allow them to fall into other hands. Our mysteries are our own to dispense, and we will value them by Rank and title. We will hide ourselves from outsiders; they will ''think'' they know us, but we will delude them. We will wrap our lore in riddles and tales; let the clever ones puzzle out their meaning. We will act as if we know even more than we do, for it keeps outsiders from guessing. Let them wonder at our insight; they value us more highly when they do.
 
:'''''When we fail''''' - We will cover our tracks with misdirection, pretend to be other than we are, fill the air with idle rumors and hide messages in code. She who fails to keep the Yava will be killed - there is no better mercy - and he who acts upon it will be ripped apart by hunting cats. There is no forgiveness for this crime.

Advances in rank are awarded at a taghairm, though it is not unusual for solitary cats to demand an increase in rank, and have their petition granted by spirits, who they bring the word to elders of the cat in question.  If they agree, the rank is awarded to him. In either case the Bastet has to perform a Rite of Recognition.

If a player is approved at Rank 0 and then goes through their First Year to Rank 1, then they gain gifts and renown as usual for Rank 1 and their Breed/Tribe, assuming they have earned their first Rank.
 
* These gifts don't cost XP.
 
* Any previous renown unconnected to the Rite of Passage is retained on top of the rank baseline.

You can, of course, lie about your deeds to win Renown. A tall tale given at a taghairm requires a good ''Manipulation + Subterfuge roll, difficulty 8''.  Each success grants the lying cat an additional dot of temporary renown.  If you're caught doing this, however, it'll cost you double.

==Diplomacy==
+
Anyone who doubts your bragging can call on you to prove it.  If you have proof or witnesses, they can help make your case.  the gathering will weigh your evidence against the challenger ''(which might involve contested Manipulation + Subterfuge or Expression rolls'') and may even call for a formal duel, either with words or claws.  A braggart who botches his lie roll screws his story up so badly that no one believes him, and the challenge automatically succeeds.

  • A Guide to submitting Renown Requests.
  • A Renown FAQ if you have questions about the system


Renown

Source: Players Guide to the Changing Breeds pg.#169

The werecat Renown fits fairly well with their feline nature. Based on individual achievement first and foremost, the cats do not concern themselves too much with their servitude to Gaia when measuring Renown. Their three categories are as follows.

Categories

Cunning

Cunning is awarded through the werecat's capability to discover secrets, manipulate rivals, her riddle craft abilities, or her commercial talent.

Ferocity

Ferocity is awarded through cool and conquest; the Bastet's abilities of being a bad ass with an attitude, pure and simple.

Honor

To gain Honor Renown, Bastet must display that they are loyal and honest, but also prideful.

Creeds

Cunning

The Clever Cat's Creed

  • I shall be silent and quick
  • I shall watch my own shadow
  • I shall follow the whispers
  • And survive, learn and prosper

How good is a werecat at discovering hidden secrets? How well can she manipulate rivals? Is she good at riddles or successful at business? If she excels this way, she wins her Renown. A cunning cat is a famous cat. Cunning measures a Bastet's skill for misdirection, trivia, wits and bravado. If you're good at pranks, puzzles and hidden meanings, the others will recall your name.

(Category was originally called 'Cleverness' in Breedbook: Bastet)

Ferocity

The Warrior's Chant

  • I shall stand my ground
  • Govern my hatred
  • Master my fury
  • And scatter foes to the wind

Bastet are not the warriors that Garou are, and their quests are far more personal. Even so, combat savvy, strength and raw savagery are prized among the cat-folk. Ferocity measures a Bastet's temper, kills and sheer attitude. You don't have to be nine feet tall to have a fierce reputation. Sometimes, you just have to look fierce. A few withering stares and dark rumors will have others making room at the fire.

Honor

The Code of the Honorable Folk

  • I shall be bound by my word
  • I shall act with good grace
  • I shall govern my tongue
  • And defend those like myself

Some say cats have no honor. They lie, of course - most people just don't understand cats well enough to see it. An honorable Bastet knows her responsibilities, sets a code and lives by those rules. She helps both friends and strangers, pursues justice when need be, and acts fairly and with integrity. Some tribes, especially the Khan, Pumonca and Bagheera, set a lot of store by Honor; any monster can kill people, and any sneak can live by her wits. To be a true Bastet, you must be loual, honest, and full of pride. Let the dogs roll in blood - you're better than that.

Rank Requirements

Advances in rank are awarded at a taghairm, though it is not unusual for solitary cats to demand an increase in rank, and have their petition granted by spirits, who they bring the word to elders of the cat in question. If they agree, the rank is awarded to him. In either case the Bastet has to perform a Rite of Recognition.

Rank Any Combination
1 (Tekhmet) 3
2 (Akaa) 10
3 (Tilau) 15
4 (Ilani) 20
5 (Bon Bhat) 25

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 Bastet's purpose, then go ahead and submit a request.

  • Awards given once per combat, not per enemy

The following types have been tinted for ease of reading and browsing:

  • These awards and penalties are directly from the established renown lists found in Players Guide to the Changing Breeds pgs.#170-173

Items in Black are positive renown awards.

Items in Red are negative renown penalties

Lying about Renown

Source: Bastet Breedbook pg.#89

You can, of course, lie about your deeds to win Renown. A tall tale given at a taghairm requires a good Manipulation + Subterfuge roll, difficulty 8. Each success grants the lying cat an additional dot of temporary renown. If you're caught doing this, however, it'll cost you double.

Anyone who doubts your bragging can call on you to prove it. If you have proof or witnesses, they can help make your case. the gathering will weigh your evidence against the challenger (which might involve contested Manipulation + Subterfuge or Expression rolls) and may even call for a formal duel, either with words or claws. A braggart who botches his lie roll screws his story up so badly that no one believes him, and the challenge automatically succeeds.

A Bastet whose story falls apart under challenge loses double the Renown she would have gained, or 10 points, whichever is greater. A bogus claim might be backed up by an Ally, dupe or even a Jamak, but the favor should be expensive and risky, and there's no guarantee that a liar's witness won't turn around and inform on her later.
