All [[character (beyond the veil)|Characters]] in [[Beyond the Veil (LARP)|Beyond the Veil]] possess a '''Rank''' that ranges between 0 and 10. A character moves up or down through their ranks through the process of [[Transubstantiate (beyond the veil)|Transubstantiation]]. The higher a [[character (beyond the veil)|Denizen's]] Rank the more advantages they have, including greater ability to spend various [[resources (beyond the veil)|resources]] to improve their situation, higher total and individual [[stat (beyond the veil)|Stats]], and number of [[Attunement (beyond the veil)|Attunements]].

==Changes==
In addition to limiting the maximum level of [[Domains (beyond the veil)|Domain]] a character can purchase and use, Rank confers many other benefits and burdens.

{{note_label|Escape|1|1}}This is the cost for a [[character (beyond the veil)|Denizen]] of the given rank to exit their [[Personal Demesne (beyond the veil)|Personal Demesne]].

{{note_label|per turn|2|2}}A character may spend certain [[resources (beyond the veil)|Resources]] to use [[Powers (beyond the veil)|Powers]] or improve their draws during [[conflict resolution (beyond the veil)|conflict]]. This is the maximum amount a character of the given Rank may spend in one conflict turn.

{{note_label|domains|3|3}} A [[character (beyond the veil)|character]] may purchase ranks in each of the four [[domains (beyond the veil)|Domains]], however this is the maximum number of domains they may access at a given Rank.

{{note_label|tstats|4|4}} A [[character (beyond the veil)|character's]] [[stat (beyond the veil)|Stats]] are dictated by their Rank. This is the max number which all of their stats added together may not exceed.

{{note_label|istats|5|5}} A [[character (beyond the veil)|character's]] [[stat (beyond the veil)|Stats]] are dictated by their Rank. This is the max number which no single one of their stats may exceed.

==Names==
Depending on the types of [[resources (beyond the veil)|Substances]] to which a character is [[Attunement (beyond the veil)|Attuned]] they recieve various terms to identify their level of power.
All Denizens are referred to as Shades if they are Rank 0, as such individuals have no Attunements.

{{note_label|Oracle|1|1}} [[Attunement (beyond the veil)|Oracles]] recieve no special rank-based names.

{{note_label|Light|2|2}} [[Character (beyond the veil)|Denizens]] [[Attunement (beyond the veil)|Attuned]] to [[Resources (beyond the veil)|Light Substances.]]

{{note_label|Dark|3|3}} [[Character (beyond the veil)|Denizens]] [[Attunement (beyond the veil)|Attuned]] to [[resources (beyond the veil)|Dark Substances]] 

{{note_label|Element|4|4}} Dispite assumptions about "association" through their [[Attunement (beyond the veil)|Attunement]] to [[resources (beyond the veil)|Material Substances]], [[Attunement (beyond the veil)|Elemental]] [[Character (beyond the veil)|Denizens]] with only one element favor different Rank names based on their element. Mixed element Denizens, however, share a single structure.

{{note_label|Multi|5|5}} Because a character must be at least rank 5 to have the necessarry 2 Attunements there are no terms for lower-ranked multi-elemental Denizens
