The Dossier
1 min read
Part two of the handbook. One card per feature, written as the file the police keep on you, or the file the family keeps on the city. This is where the exact rules and formulas live. Every number comes straight from the game.
Part one, the basics in plain language, is in the handbook.
Ranks and reputation
What it is
Every title has to be earned. Your rank grows with your reputation. It gives no power by itself, but it opens new things. Every promotion gives full energy, a higher energy maximum (100 at the lowest rank, 165 at Don) and, from the third rank on, a skill point for attack or defense. The highest ranks ask for more than reputation alone.
Where to find it
In the HUD and on Players, next to your name. You spend skill points where the HUD offers them.
How it works
The ladder: Street Rat, Associate, Soldier, Enforcer, Capo, Lieutenant, Right Hand, Underboss, Consigliere, Boss, Godfather, Don.
A skill point gives plus one attack or plus one defense. That does count in fights.
Every completed step on your Reputation bar fills your energy bar completely.
Costs, returns and limits
Soft prestige resets your rank and progress. Unused skill points expire; attack and defense you already spent stay. You start again as Street Rat.
