 +====== Factions and Clout ======
  
 +Within //Silversun// a multitude of Factions exist.  Characters are able to gain and lose Clout with these Factions by virtue of their actions.  Generally, a successful adventure into the Desolation will result in directly gaining 3 Clout with the Faction that organised or requested the excursion, or 1 Clout that can be spent with any faction.
 +
 +Clout can also be won or lost with powerful entities, but cashing this in requires a means of contacting them first.
 +
 +Levelling up Clout with your Faction unlocks per-adventure abilities flavoured around that faction.
 +
 +Beware: you can lose Clout with a Faction if you displease them - particularly someone with a higher level of Clout than you.
 +
 +===== Known (1 Clout) =====
 +
 +Someone in this Faction knows who you are and might hold the door open for you but you'll have to leverage them hard for anything else.
 +
 +===== Initiate (5 Clout) =====
 +
 +Someone in this Faction knows who you are and likes you enough to maybe swing a favour for you and give you the latest gossip.
 +
 +  * Before each adventure you may ask this Faction what their opinions are on a matter and get a straight answer.
 +  * Once per adventure, with persuasion as to what's in it for them, you can swing a minor favour.
 +
 +===== Friend (10 Clout) =====
 +
 +You're a proven trustworthy ally to this Faction and can get a few people to help you out.
 +
 +  * Once per adventure, if you can contact them, you can ask two direct questions and get reasonably straight answers.
 +  * Once per adventure you may ask for an actionable minor favour.
 +
 +
 +===== Trusted (15 Clout) =====
 +
 +You are trusted by this Faction and can influence them to a lesser or greater degree depending on your choice of words.
 +
 +  * During downtime you may attempt to influence the policy or methods of this Faction
 +  * Once more per adventure, you may ask for an actionable minor favour
 +  * Once ever, you may make a request of this Faction on the level of a player-request Adventure, and they will put their resources behind it.
 +
 +===== Devotee (20 Clout + Character Retirement) =====
 +
 +You have become a pillar of this Faction and become a part of it.  
 +  * You retire your character to imbue a new direction or imperative into the Faction for a long time to come. 
 +  * Your character may return as an NPC.
