Status Rules Summary

Each session, every player gets one or more points of Support and Opposition they may publicly give to another player. Your Status goes up (or down) based on how much Support or Opposition you receive, but it takes multiple sessions to see any changes. Each level of Status you have comes with a Moniker: a flavorful descriptor such as honorable or feared. The Prince and their court may be able to bypass these rules to affect your Status directly.

• All characters begin at Status 1.
• Only characters who are accepted in the domain may give Support or Opposition.
• Each level of Status comes with a Moniker such as Acknowledged, Trustworthy, Honorable, or Feared.
  • Monikers are mostly a matter of flavor: the characters who supported you collectively agree on the Moniker you receive.
  • If someone with a title increases your Status, they assign you the Moniker.
  • The Moniker for Status 1 is always Acknowledged (if you’re a Camarilla member) or Accepted (If you’re a non-Camarilla member)

• Each character can give Support and Opposition equal to their current Status per session.
  • (Example: A character with Status 2 can give 2 Support and 2 Opposition each session.)
• You may give Support or Opposition to multiple characters, but:
  • You can only give Support to someone of equal or lower Status.
  • You can give Opposition to someone of any Status.
  • You may give only one Support or one Opposition per character per month.
    • Exception: If the target gains or loses a level of Status during the month, you may give to them again.

• A character can receive a maximum of 3 Support and 3 Opposition per session.
• Support and Opposition cancel each other out one-to-one.

• All Support and Opposition must be declared publicly, in front of a majority of participating characters. You can ask someone else (typically the Herald) to declare your Support for you.

Any character who raises someone else’s Status gets to choose the Moniker for the new level.

Prince: Can directly raise or lower someone’s Status (Acknowledged Camarilla member or Accepted non-Camarilla member) by one point (but not above the Prince’s own Status, could reduce Status to 0). This can only be done once every six months for any character.

Seneschal: No authority to adjust Status unless they’re standing in for the Prince in their absence.

Sheriff: Can lower one character’s Status by 1 (but not to 0) if they’ve broken the Traditions, local Courtesies, or other edicts of the Prince. This can only be done once per game.

Herald: Can directly raise or lower someone’s Status by one point (but not above the Herald’s own Status or below 1). This can only be done once every six months for any character.

Keeper of Elysium: Can directly lower someone’s Status for Elysium violations by up to one point per violation. The Keeper can also banish someone from all Elysiums in the city and limit someone’s Status to 1 until restitution is made.
