Walking Paths


Renown has been entirely changed. Glory, Honor, Wisdom, etc are no longer in play. What we refer to as “Renown” is both your level of understanding and the spirits’ recognition of you in that role. To reflect this you have a rating from 1-5 in each potential Path you can walk.

You start on three Paths determined by your birth: Breed, Auspice, and Tribe. You may learn Gifts from any Path you walk, but also ONLY from Paths you walk. So, a Homid / Theurge / Glass Walker couldn’t have Open Seal or learn it without starting on the Ragabash Path for example.

As you advance on the Path, you can learn higher-level Gifts. The cost to increase your Birth Paths are NR x5 (so level 2 is 10, level 3 is 15…) and the cost to learn others is NR x7 (so level 1 is 7, then 14, then 21…). The cost to learn all Gifts is Level x3 and having to track the spirit you need.
