The renown test is rolling a d100 (or 2 d10s) against a target number of 05.<br/><br/>I know, it's a pretty small chance, but the guy isn't<em>that</em>famous. Anyone who would fit the warrior character type can increase that to a 10% chance, since they're slightly more likely to have heard tales of this person. I'll also allow a 10% chance for anyone who has an interest in weapons / weaponsmithing.
