Also known as Reputation, this Merit reveals you as an honored personage within your Tradition, Convention, Craft, or another sort of sect. Among your peers, you add three extra dice to all social rolls used to influence folks within that group. Story-wise, allies of your group will tend to like you, and rivals or enemies will tend to… not.

When you first select this Merit, decide upon the source of this prestige. Perhaps you earned it through deeds before the chronicle began, or won the Merit in place of experience points. It might represent an honored lineage to which you belong, or reflect a glorious mentor whose rep rubs off on you. Either way, folks expect great things of you, and usually defer to you so long as you live up to the reputation you currently enjoy.
