Repute

From Edge of Darkness Wiki

Prometheans hear many stories from other Prometheans on the road, and many of these stories concerns the exploits of others of their kind. A Promethean with this Merit has had some of his exploits told to others. These legends don’t even have to be true, but they are popular enough to be told and retold to Prometheans on their Pilgrimages around the country or even the world. When other Prometheans encounter the reputed Promethean, their players roll Intelligence + the Promethean’s Repute dots to see if they recognize him. Once someone recognizes him, the Promethean can add +1 per Repute dot to any Socialize roll made to influence or befriend those who know his legend. He can also use those who recognize him as temporary allies, as if they were bought through the Allies Merit (p. 114, World of Darkness Rulebook). They are worth one dot each — capable of rendering minor favors — and can be used this way only once per person (i.e., one minor favor per person), unless the Promethean spends experience points to codify his relationship with them into the Allies Merit.

1-dot

With one dot in this Merit, the Promethean is mildly famous among his own kind. They won’t recognize him on sight (based on his description in the legends), but they might come to realize who he is once they’ve spent more than a few turns with him.

2-dots

With two dots, the Promethean might be recognizable on sight.

3-dots

With three dots, his renown positively colors the Measure, the initial opinion other Created make of him.

Drawback

Prometheans who recognize the renowned character and from whom he has asked a favor, might seek to enlist his aid. This is usually due to his obvious ability to accomplish the task requested, based on the legends told about him. If he refuses too many of these requests, he might lose Repute dots as word gets around of his selfishness.
