[QUOTE="thanson02, post: 6755631, member: 6801619"] Hey everyone. I am new to Zeitgeist and so far I am liking it. It has some really interesting options for players and I am thinking of picking certain elements of the campaign world and incorporating it into my current home game, particularly the Prestige mechanic. My players are working in a way where they want to gain favor with the local community anyways in our current game and I think that this mechanic would provide the interaction that players are looking for. We are playing with the 4E rule system if that matters in this case. I was wondering if someone would clarify how the mechanic works. From what I am seeing, there are 5 different groups that the mechanic works with: Local citizens (Flint), local government and authorities (Risur), They Fey Courts (Unseen), local criminal groups, and special interest groups/private organizations (Philosophical). Depending on your prestige with each group, you can call on favors to get special items or services. I guess where I am getting caught up is that I am not understanding the relationship between prestige and favors and what favors you can call on based on your level of prestige. Any help would be grateful. I really like the mechanic and I think my players will too. I just want to make sure I understand how it works. [/QUOTE]
