Background: Reputation

Reputation

There is a new Background which experiencd hunters can buy: Reputation. This represents your "status in Kindred society, or just how much they fear you and consider you a real danger. This also represent how well known and respected you are among other Vampire hunters.

System: Any time the situation arises where someone may recognize you, the Storyteller rolls their Intelligence + your Reputation against a difficulty of 7.

1 success	They recognize you as a hunter, but may not know who you are exactly.
2 successes	They know your name.
3 successes	They know the names of those Kindred you have killed, and may fear you, hate you, idolize you, depending on who is making the roll.

* Some Vampires may have heard of you. They may be wary of you, or cocky enough to try something. your name may ring a bell with other hunters.

** Your name is known to most Kindred, though they may simply consider you lucky to have come so far against them. Hunters know of your work and respect it.

*** Most Vampires will go to lengths to avoid you if they know you are in town. They may risk great hunger to avoid giving you any evidence to track them. you may get requests from other hunters who wish to work with you.

**** You are on the Justicars list as an Enemy of the Kindred. All Kindred are to report any sightings of you to the Prince. They fear to move against you, and may not even risk their mortal reatainers. Other hunters will defer to you, regardless of whether you have more or less experience than them.

***** Kindred shut down business when you come into town. Any Kindred who gives you the slightest clue to their activities may become the subject of a blood hunt. The law is that you be given the widest of berths, in the hope that you will eventually believe that all Kindred are finally dead. You are a legend in the annals of hunting. Other Vampire hunters will be desperate for you to train them in their missions.
