Influence

This is the clout that the character has with a faction within the world at character generation. Influence with each faction is purchased individually, stating which faction it is with and how many ranks of influence you wish your character to begin with. This represents their starting position only; your character’s level of influence with a given faction will rise and fall as the game unfolds; see the Influence rules for more information. For a list of factions available at this time, see the Faction List.

All factions are either Local, Regional or Global, and the level of relationship you can purchase with them depends on their size, noted on the table below. Any box with a ‘-’ is not available to purchase.
