Description
The Outlaws are not a faction you join. They are a ledger, kept by people who profit from climbers killing each other, and they pay for one thing only: a fair fight that somebody lost. Speak with Corvane and he will put your name in his book - or win one of those fights first, and the Outlaws will find you.
Location
Corvane, the fence, keeps a table on the shady floor. Anyone may look over his table, but nothing on it is for sale until you have earned Friendly standing with the Outlaws.
Gaining Reputation
Kill another player within 10% of their own level - never a narrower window than 5 levels either way. Anything outside that range pays nothing at all, not a reduced amount. The same is true of anyone below level 50, and of anyone who was not fighting back.
Killing an established Outlaw is worth more - up to four times the standard payout against an Exalted one. That works both ways: being killed by someone inside your own level window costs you standing.
Repeat kills on the same person are worth less each time, then nothing. Kills from your own connection are worth nothing at any time.
Skulls
The Outlaws do not clean up after you. These kills earn standing and still count as frags - three is a red skull, six is black. The skull system is the real limit on how fast anybody climbs this ladder.
Faction Relationships
The Outlaws oppose no one, and can be pursued alongside every other faction without penalty.
Faction Rewards
Everything Corvane sells is paid for in honor, and none of it occupies an equipment slot - you never trade climbing power for fighting power.
Cutthroat's Draught - ten minutes of +15% damage dealt to players.
Vein Tincture - for ten minutes, players you damage recover 30% less from healing.
Outlaw's Brand - absorbed permanently. +2% damage to players per brand, to a maximum of +10%.
Bloodsworn Brand - absorbed permanently. +2% damage reduction from players per brand, to a maximum of +10%.
Rook of the Gallows - carried in your backpack. +8% damage reduction from players. One per character.
Outlaw's Ledger - carried in your backpack. +12% damage dealt to players. One per character, Exalted only.
Every one of these is inert against monsters. None of it will help you climb.
