-=Family Honor vs Character Honor=-

Family Honor is a measure of deeds and actions of the family.  This is also a form of reputation.  When in a court or rural setting a +1 modifier is applied to any reaction rolls for every 10 points of family honor to a max of +10.  Family Honor has no limit.  This number may be further modified by relation to the NPC's involved.

Personal Honor has a maximum of 100.  This does not limit a characters ability to increase family honor if a character reaches the 100 personal honor limits.

Members of a family can increase family honor by 1 point for every 10 points of personal honor they have gained though their deeds and actions.

By this formula a new character whose family honor is high might not be able to increase the honor of his family due to the fact the bar is set very high.  While a character whose family begins with low honor is able to more easily though action and deed bring honor to his family name.

Qui has a family honor of 43, while Ugo has a family honor of 13.  Qui must gain a total of 53 points of honor to increase the honor of her family by 1 point.  Ugo must gain 23 points of honor to raise his families honor for example.  Qui would increase her family honor for every 10 points increment past 43.  So at 53 +1, 63 +1, and so on.  The effect of raising honor does no increase the 10 point increment.  Say from 53 to 64 since the family honor would be a 44 at that point.

With honor can also come shame depending on the a characters actions and deeds.  The loss of honor can have a negative effect on the families name.  For every 5 points of honor lost the family honor is decreased by 1.
