Secret/Public ID

[Raven]

Normally a Secret ID Social Lim. is worth 15 pts. and a public ID Social Lim. is worth 10 pts. However it mentions that a well known or famous figure has a 15 pt. Social Lim.

My question is if a PC has his Secret ID blown in spectacular fashion, on live TV and is identified by picture alone within a few hours would this qualify as a famous public ID? In addition the PC owns a corporation which also was immediately Identified and placed firmly into the public spotlight.

That's entirely up to the GM. "Conversion" of Disadvantages in that manner to reflect the events of the campaign and character growth is a time-honored phenomenon in many campaigns, and it makes a lot of sense in many cases, but a GM doesn't have to do that if he doesn't want to. He could, for example, require the character to buy off the Disadvantage.
