Editing Cult of Rakdos (section)

===Cult of Rakdos Renown===
Renown amongst a guild as anarchic as the Cult of Rakdos is, obviously, more visceral than some. Rank means nothing to them, but fame? Now that's another story. Your renown measures how well known you are, both in the Cult and out, which in turn gives a rough idea of how much respect (and fear) you elicit.

Extra (Renown 3)
::You're basically nobody. The only difference is that you've earned enough of a name to be allowed to perform on a Cult "stage", instead of just running around handling the grunt-work. It's a bloody and dangerous place to be in, as you're the most expendable guy/girl/whatever around, but hey, that's showbusiness!

Sideshow Act (Renown 10)
::Now people are starting to take notice of you. You're a long way off of achieving top billing, but you're big enough that rookies and scrubs will often fall in line with you, hoping to ride your coattails to fame when you stage a "performance". This means that when you go adventuring, you can bring 1d4 tagalongs in the form of cacklers, stage hands (cultists) and extras (thugs) to protect you. Also, if you want, you can head to Rix Maadi and petition for a Rakdos Charm, but you're too small fry to be assured of safety if you go.

Special Role: Blood Witch (Renown 10, Spellcasting or Pact Magic class feature)
::Your access to the black magics associated with your demonic Guildmaster, combined with your now-obvious talent for bloodshed and mayhem, earn you the respect of your fellow performers. You're the closest thing the Cult has to a ranking official; you can't personally mobilize large numbers of guild members, but individual performers will usually be quick to obey your orders if they aren't blatantly contradicting your guild's ethos or the will of Rakdos. That said, earning this position means you're assigned to torment a particular enemy of the guild, be it an individual, a family, an organization, or even an abstract concept.

Star Performer (Renown 25)
::You've climbed the bloody ladder to stardom, and people watch in awe and terror at your performance. The Cult admires you and envies you with equal amounts, giving you a wide array of lackies (2d4 Rakdos performers and 1d4 Rakdos lampooners) that will follow you on any performance or general riot. Watch out for ambitious underlings out to "cut in", though. And Rakdos himself might show up to watch you peform, which isn't necessarily a good thing...

Ringmaster (Renown 50)
::You're the big cheese now, the greatest of the greats, a macabre mastermind of spectacles. You'll always be second banana to Rakdos, of course, but you run your own circus with the power of life and death, with a troupe of 3d10 + 20 Rakdos performers that will fight, kill and die for you, as well as the ability to summon 2d4 blood witches to aid your "performances" with their magic.
