Good day everyone.
This may seem like a dumb question, but forgive me if I got this wrong:
"Each time your Fame increases, you also gain 1 Prestige Point. In a typical campaign, you should gain approximately 4 to 6 Prestige Points per character level."
Does this mean that 1 fame = 1 prestige, or that one event that gives you fame (regardless of the amount of fame it gives you) provides you with 1 prestige?
Maybe tis' just me, but i find the wording there kinda confusing.
Prestige Points can be spent like currency, increasing as it is earned and decreasing as it is spent. Fame is simply the total amount of prestige collected in a characters career, it never decreases. So yes 1 prestige = 1 fame. If you gain 2 prestige at a single event then your fame, likewise, increases by 2.

Ok, then I assumed correctly. Many thanks Mr. Foo.
Hmm, as an additional question the rules say:
You begin play with a Fame equal to your character level + your Charisma modifier.Would this mean you begin play with that many Prestige Points as well?
I would assume you do. Perhaps that fame was gained though the pc's back story and the events that lead to them been in a particular adventure.
Now, another question would be what would happen with pc's with negative CHA? Let's imagine they dumped Cha (which some of my players are known to do) and they ended up with a -2 Cha mod. If they begin at level 1, this means -1 fame. Meaning they are infamous or the base fame remains at 0?
