As mentioned in the
2018-2020 BGTSCC Strategic Planning Document, one of our development goals for the server is to establish a faction reputation system. Currently, an early version is live and ready for DM use, but it is still a very new system and might be considered "in testing" while regulatory systems and DM policies and procedures are developed around it, and the tool itself is tuned up.
How it's supposed to eventually work:
"A 'choices matter' faction system where siding with one group in a DM event may enhance your reputation with them, but perhaps cost you your reputation with another group. Reputation could be made to affect prices, quest options, NPC reactions, access to certain locations, and so on. Like alignment, reputation should only be adjustable by DMs (so that it can't be 'grinded'). It should also be something that DMs can easily check from the DM Client in order to target NPC reactions appropriately."
