RENOWN FOR BASTET by Laura Law After playing a Bastet, the storyteller and I realized that the examples of Renown given for Garou just don't mesh well with the Bastet. The Bastet are not in packs like Garou, so all of the "defending the pack/tribe" ones don't work, also they tend to have somewhat different outlooks and values then their wolven cousins. With that in mind I designed this version of Renown for Bastet, providing examples that are more tailored to Bastet. The character I played was a Bagheera, therefore these examples are probably slanted toward the Bagheera's love of philosophy. Some of this might be useful for Garou whose emphasis is Wisdom, as the examples in the WtA book are very difficult to get if you have such an emphasis. Steal what is useful and pitch the rest. Renown for Bastet Glory: * Defeating a foe/rival, through might or cunning (v) * Defeating a stronger opponent (v -more than above) * Defeating a manifestation of the Wyrm (v) * Successfully perform a ritual hunt (1000) (must annouce "the hunt" ahead of time) * Pass on information to other werecats at a Taghairn (v) * Taking great pains to be well groomed/clean/etc. (250) * Cause a deserving garou embarassment/humliation (500) * Set up a foe to be blamed for an act you committed (500) * Act to the glorification of the Bastet as a whole, the eyes of Gaia (v) Wisdom: * Find out something of significant value (v) * Figure out puzzle/problem/mystery (v) * Out-wit a foe (1000) * Out-wit a non-foe with good reason (500) * Successfully manipulate a wyrm-creature to serve your ends (v) * Use a philosophy/theology/metaphor to explain a situation adeptly.
