Infamy and Glory

Post by Tassu »

The core rules don't make it evident how
INFAMOUS [SOCIAL] (2 POINTS)
You are well known among some circles, but not in the manner you might wish. Rather than being known for your valor and your courage, you are known for being ruthless, cruel, and dangerous. This reputation may not be deserved, but it is widespread enough that it no longer matters if it is true. Your starting Glory Rank is replaced with an Infamy Rank, which serves in exactly the same capacity, save for the reaction of those who recognize you.
Interacts with
FAME [SOCIAL] (3 POINTS)
As a result of your actions, there are many in the Empire who know your name. You gain +1 Glory Rank.
I am going to rule that players can decide whether all the glory they gained happened AFTER or BEFORE they gained INFAMOUS. This is to say that a character with starting Glory 1, Infamous and 2 ranks of Fame could be either

Glory 0 / Infamy 3
Glory 1 / Infamy 2
Glory 2 / Infamy 1

I am going to go with what is in you signature OR with the most generous interpretation (Glory 2 / Infamy 1).

The righteous need not cower before the drumbeat of human progress. Though the song of yesterday fades into the challenge of tomorrow, the Fortunes still watch and judge us. Evil lurks in the datalinks as it lurked in the alleys of yesteryear. But it was never the alleys that were evil.
