Courtesy Title

†

You have an honorary social advantage: Courtesy Rank for Rank, Emeritus Professor for Tenure, Ex-Cop for Legal Enforcement Powers, Honorary Title for Status, and so on. This most often represents a symbolic reward (e.g., "the key to the city"), a purchased title, or credentials deactivated after retirement.

Courtesy Title comes in levels: 1 point per 5 points the full advantage costs. Its only benefits are the legal right to use a fancy title (+1 to reactions per full 5 points) and avoid any skill penalties the GM imposes for trying to impersonate the real McCoy.

If you also have a full-fledged advantage, you can "stack" this perk with it to get your title on paper. For instance, Rank 4 [20] plus Courtesy Rank 2 [2] entitles you to present yourself as having Rank 6, although you only have the authority of Rank 4.
