(Do these forums have a Q&A thread anywhere, by the way? I couldn't find one.)

So I recently heard that tithing to the temples offers possible gains in Notoriety. Before that, I was just giving tithes because I figured it was something that Tristella would do. Notoriety boosts sure can sweeten the pot, though. :)

But my question is whether or not the exact amount tithed has any effect on that chance of Notoriety gain. 20% of 10 and 20% of 10,000 are two considerably different amounts, after all. I would think that the temples would smile more on a well-to-do person who just packed 2,000 Talons into their coffers, and it would discourage those cheapies who might drop 10,000 Gold on the floor, talk to the priestess, give 20% of their leftover pocket change, bask in the priestess' glowing praise, take their 10,000 Gold back and leave.

On the other hand, if the exact amount of a tithe mattered, wouldn't the priests ask for tithes in fixed amounts rather than percentages?

Toughie. I hope that someone can fill me in here. :-/
