Faction Reputation
By representing a faction during adventures or participating in adventures vital to a faction’s interests, a character gains Reputation with the represented faction. The greater a character’s Reputation the more respected and influential they are with that faction. Characters can represent more that one Faction in their career, but only one per adventure. Some scenarios grant bonus Reputation with particular factions; this doesn’t prevent characters from choosing to represent a different Faction.
Pathfinder Society uses the Reputation subsystem (Gamemastery Guide 164) with the following modifications:
Table 6-2: Reputations
| Reputation | Reputation points | ||
| Ignored | 0-19 | ||
| Liked | 20-59 | ||
| Admired | 60-119 | ||
| Revered | 120+ | ||
Reputation in PFS does not use negative values. Major infractions earn Infamy.
Character rewards unlocked by Reputation are found on the Boon Tab of your My Organized Play page. They are further described below.
