(Host) Honor for Missions
Being elohim in loyal service to the Most High means the player characters will be given missions to go forth and achieve. Elohim are rewarded with Honor for completing these mission. They are awarded some Honor even if they tried in good faith but failed. Willing obedience is held higher than achievements. Characters are also awarded Honor if they are attentive and can do other good in the Most High's name outside their specific mission.
Mission Honor
As general guidelines for Mission Honor, consider how long the goal will take the characters to complete, how impactful the goal is, and how many people are impacted by it. Completing a basic mission completely will generally give around 30 Mission Honor. This would usually be goals that can be reasonably easily achieved and are helpful but not monumentally impactful or affecting more than a few people. A very large amount of Mission Honor for a single goal would 70 Honor. This would most likely be a goal that
Sometimes elohim will be given long-term assignments. Honor should be given to characters depending on the actual real life hours spent playing this out rather than amounts of time that are simply skipped past and uneventful. A very general rule of thumb is that characters playing out entire sessions of day to day occurrences with no particular Mission should receive around 100 or so Honor for just doing their duty. The Honor value could be adjusted based upon the overall weight of that duty and the time spent at the table.

Partial Honor
Sometimes the players will do their best, but in the end they will fail. This should be an expected occasional occurrence in Allies of Majesty. There is no character death. There should be no reason the characters will not sometimes face a threat too great for them to overcome. This experience is true to life. Those who are humble will find their most formative moments in defeat. The Most High will use defeat to shape and mold his servants. If the characters never face defeat, you should consider notching up the difficulty you present them with until they do. A healthy ratio is somewhere in the neighborhood of 10-20% of the time that the characters should face defeat or at least come quite close to it.
When the characters fail in their mission, it is still acceptable to award partial Honor for their faithful service and especially for any parts of the Mission they did contribute to or complete.
