The renown function seems clunky and does not cover as large an area as it should. I think that renown should be a part of the class ability and not one that needs to be selected as a talent. At 1st level, you might be known by a few people but by 20th, you should be a figure to be reckoned with on the entire world, not just 25,000 people. Also, your fame (or infamy) will be more concentrated in your area that you operate, so the ability should scale based on how well known you are. I suggest the following where the bonus are useful in both modes of the Vigilante. (Maybe swap out Bluff with Sense Motive)
1st: Renown (Local).
Local thugs have heard of you and steer clear of where you operate.
+2 Diplomacy/Knowledge (Local) with local citizens (Social), +2 Intimidate/Bluff to criminals (or the target of your wraith) (Vigilante).
5th: Renown (Regional).
Your operation has expanded to a 100 miles from your base.
+2/+4 Diplomacy/Knowledge (Local)(Social). +2/+4 Intimidate/Bluff (Vigilante)
10th: Renown (National).
Heads of governments have agents actively looking for you to help aid your cause or to bring your head back.
+2/+4/+6 Diplomacy/Knowledge (Local) (Social). +2/+4/+6 Intimidate/Bluff (Vigilante)
15th Renown (Continental).
Other nations contact you to help deal with major problems on an international scale.
+2/+4/+6/+8 Diplomacy/Knowledge (Local) (Social). +2/+4/+6/+8 Intimidate/Bluff (Vigilante)
20th Supreme Renown (Global)
Your deeds have been spread to the far edges of the world and planes. Everyone has heard of you, for better or worse.
+2/+4/+6/+8/+10 Diplomacy/Knowledge (Local)(Social). +2/+4/+6/+8/+10 Intimidate/Bluff (Vigilante)

Maybe have a base of operations and it has to be a location of 1000 people or more (not much crime in a village of 200 people). When you go up to the next level of renown, you get an additional base of operations in that area. So when you go to Renown (Regional) the second base is within 100 miles of the first (and in the nation that you operate out of). At Renown (National) you will have your main base, one in the region and a third base anywhere in the nation that has 1000 or more people. Repeat as needed (suggest that at Supreme Renown, you can have it on another plane if you want)
