Rank requirements

Rank Any Combination
1 (Rakka) 3
2 (Voto) 7
3 (Tava) 15
4 (Teppen) 23
5 (Rrrrr't) 30

If a player is approved at Rank 0 and then goes through a Rite of Passage to Rank 1, then they gain gifts and renown as usual for Rank 1 and their breed/tribe/auspice.

  • These gifts don't cost XP.
  • Any previous renown unconnected to the Rite of Passage is retained on top of the auspice baseline.

Sample Renown Awards

Note: These are not uniformly objective. They may be rejected/reduced/increased based on circumstances.

Note: These are not exhaustive. If something doesn't seem to fit here, or isn't found in this list, but still serves one of these types and Gaia's purpose, then go ahead and submit a request.

The following types have been tinted for ease of reading and browsing:

  • These awards and penalties are directly from the established renown lists, with changes limited to specifying Garou use.

Items in Black are positive renown awards.

Items in Red are negative renown penalties

  • These awards and penalties have been either created from scratch, or taken from lists and more heavily modified for Garou use.

Items in Blue are positive home-brew renown awards

Items in Purple are negative home-brew renown penalties
