Default Re: Reputation / Popularity

The best way to do this is to find a way to describe the two groups so that they're one group, and then price Reputation based on how big that combined group is. If there's two groups that have the same opinion of you, they probably have something in common you can use to define them.

If they're really completely disparate and it doesn't feel right or fair to combine them like that (like if one of the other players has reputation with only one of the two groups), and you're not averse to house rules, you could probably price it as a +20% enhancement on reputation per extra, similarly-sized group.

This is absolutely a house-rule and not an instance of Alternate Abilities, since those have a lot of their own specific rules that would be very strange with Reputation, but the broader logic of 1/5 price for alternate versions of an advantage you already have--due to diminishing returns, and because simply buying it twice is clearly overpriced--probably still holds, more or less.
