Renown Awards/Penalties by Changing Breed
The Storyteller should arbitrate his Renown awards and losses depending on the character's Changing Breed. Each Breed holds different activities in higher or lesser esteem and Renown reflects accordingly, even within the multi-Breed Beast-Courts. As a general guide, assume the following bonuses and penalties apply to the Changing Breeds listed under each category. In every event, the difference is only +1/-1 Renown.
Combat & Encounters: Garou, Nezumi, Same-Bito
Detecting the Centipede: Bastet, Nagah, Tengu
Mystical: Kitsune, Tengu, Zhong Lung
Rites & Gifts: Nagah, Zhong Lung
Fetishes: none
Dragon Nest Activities: none
Hengeyokai and Shen Society & Relations: none
General Behavior: Kitsune, Nagah
Human Kinfolk & Relations: none
Note again that these are general guidelines. Storytellers may feel free to alter any Renown awards they want. Often, the Changing Breed supplements offer alternative means for a particular Breed to gain (or lose) Renown, and these sources may be employed as well if appropriate even for the Path of Emerald Virtue. Staying true to one's Breed is expected in the Beast-Courts.
