So as people may have noticed, we've removed the default "Epic Reputation" feat, and replaced it with two new feats - Epic Reputation (Fame) and Epic Reputation (Influence).

These are meant to be something given out as a story/storyline award for meaningful involvement and roleplay in major plot lines, and recognize the impact of the deeds of some characters, providing minor skill bonuses, and a roleplay impact as far as how future NPCs will generally treat that PC. We have two versions in that one represents a character who is widely known, for good or bad, and will be easily recognized by most or all people (Fame). This will play out as fame or infamy depending on the location - an evil drow PC might be famous in the Underdark, and infamous in Cormyr, while a Cormyrian would be famous in Cormyr but infamous in Zhentil Keep, and so forth. The other represents a character whose deeds are known not far and wide, but in more quiet circles - among thieves, spies, assassins, Harpers, and various secretive shadowy types and those who associate with them good or bad, and it represents a reputation not by name, but by mystique, possibly a cover name or symbol, and thus is more for shadowy characters who don't want to be recognized openly.

Given that there are a number of characters we feel are likely qualified for this, the DM staff has put together an initial list. Note that you don't have to take this if you don't feel it's warranted for you, or don't feel that either of these fits your character, especially given that there can be RP/IC drawbacks to having them depending on the situation.
Additionally, if you feel you should be on this list, but aren't, let us know and we'll consider it. Even if we don't think your character does yet, you're certainly eligible for it from ongoing and future plots!

And if you are on that list, you can request a DM grant the appropriate feat, or let us know to remove you from the list if you don't want it.
