This page is in initial draft stage and subject to change. How to survive and thrive in the Status wars. Status is your reputation among the kindred of the Camarilla. With the right of destruction reserved for the prince, reputation is the resource kindred fight viciously over. This primer is intended to provide a central location for the various systems used on City of Hope to manage Status. Understanding the various systems, how they're expected to be used, and the many details scattered all about, can be quite daunting. But understanding is necessary to make use of these valuable tools to better immerse ourselves in roleplaying as kindred. Status Basics Status on City of Hope is based on a point system, with a variety of ways to affect the total score. There is no hard cap on the total, but there are consequences if one dips into the negative. Once acknowledged ICly by the Prince, each Kindred is given five (5) points of Status as a base (and also given IC and OOC access to the Camarilla-only Elysium). Each dot of the Status Background is worth five (5) points of Status. Each point of +boon one is owed adds to your Status rating, and each point of +boon owed subtracts a point. Each point of scandal from +harpy, from each category, subtracts a point of Status rating while each point of negative scandal adds to your Status rating. Titles one holds each have a Status value associated which are added to your total as long as you hold the title. +roster vamcam is your friend for keeping track of Status and who is who.
