1 You can gain honor points this way once per month. If this event recounts accomplishments of another PC or NPC, you and the subject gain 2 honor points each. If the event mocks the subject and the subject has fewer honor points than you, you gain 2 honor points and the subject loses 2. If the event mocks a target with more honor points than you, you risk the –4 slander penalty if the event can be associated with you. Each additional subject the event would praise or mock gives the skill check a –5 penalty.
