You have an honorary social advantage: Courtesy Rank (p.
B29) 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.
