 __NOTOC__
-A player's standing is stored as a number, but players cannot see that number: they can only see one of several different faction messages which correspond to certain faction numbers.  The numerical values for changing between different con levels has always been debated (e.g. scowling is -1000 or below).
+===Faction===
-The following numbers are originally based on a [http://www.project1999.com/forums/showpost.php?p=488653&postcount=2 2011 Uthgaard GM post], but have since been adjusted.  They may be incorrect, but should be close to accurate (if not accurate):
+Your starting faction values depend on race, class, and sometimes deity. These values shift over time through your actions—primarily killing NPCs, completing quests, and finishing tasks or missions.
