Reputation Guide

For our Savage Worlds game set in the Last Parsec setting, I have decided to incorporate a reputation guide that will show you where you stand with a lot of factions and allies. This will help keep fresh the factions and NPCs as I may fall behind on updating those pages.

The reputation guide I hope to keep more up to date due to the benefits you will be receiving from it. It will work on a five point system as demonstrated below (hated, disliked, neutral, liked, loved). Most factions will start out in the neutral spot, but this may vary depending on starting relationships with them such as backstory and the like.

The benefits associated with a faction may vary from little things such as access to certain types of gear or discounts to bigger things like the ability to call for help.

Reputation Ratings

1. Hated: This faction openly hates you due to your actions. They will often attack on sight or seek legal means to ruin your life. They will not work with you except for the most dire of circumstances and even then, they may try to find a way to mess with you.
2. Disliked: This faction dislikes you. They will not help you; not without a steep price in their favor (2:1 for example). Depending on the reason why you're disliked, they may also seek to harm you in some way.
3. Neutral: This faction neither likes you or dislikes you. There may not be enough information for them to form an opinion, or perhaps they didn't really care for you one way or the other. Neutral factions will generally work with you on a 1:1 fair ratio exchange.
4. Liked: This faction likes you; you've must have done a couple favors for them or they were already friends or family with you. A liked faction is more likely to easily work with you and may even take a couple of risks for you. IF YOU ARE LIKED, YOU WILL OPEN UP TIER 1 BENEFITS WITH THAT ALLY.
5. Loved: This faction loves you. They will often risk a great deal to help you out; within their capabilities of course. Once you are loved by a faction, unless you make a huge mistake, your reputation with them won't drop. Just remember to scratch their backs every once in awhile, alright?  IF YOU ARE LOVED, YOU WILL OPEN UP TIER 2 BENEFITS WITH THAT ALLY.
