You can spend your downtime engaging in a variety of social activities such as attending parties, carousing, tavern hopping, gambling, and generally having a good time.
Each day of networking covers a workday of lavish food and drink. You can attempt to network among the commonfolk, middle-class, or aristocracy. The cost and details of each group can be found in the Networking table.
Networking
While networking, you have an opportunity to make contacts within the selected social class. For each workday, make a cumulative Charisma (Persuasion) check or use your Passive Persuasion rating. At the end of each workday spent networking, you can choose to leverage your efforts to establish a new contact. When you do so, you gain a contact based on your cumulative Charisma (Persuasion) check as as shown in the New Contact table, then reset your cumulative check back to 0.
New Contact
| Commonfolk CD | Middle-Class CD | Aristocrat CD | Resulting Contact |
|---|
| 1-9 | 1-39 | 1-99 | You fail to make a contact. |
| 10-29 | 40-79 | 100-199 | You make a random contact of that social class (for example, an aristocrat). |
| 30-49 | 80 | 200-499 | You make a random contact of that social class relevant to your interests (for example, a noble from Westermount). |
| 50+ | 200+ | 500+ | You make a contact of your choice of that social class (for example, Lord Griswald Raventree). |
You can add the new contact to your Bonds. They have a
friendly disposition towards you any may help you achieve your goals.
Complications
Each workday you spend networking comes with the risk of tavern brawls, upper class faux pas, or the accumulation of nasty rumors among others. The GM determines if you face any complications and what those complications might be depending on what social class you're attempting to network with, and where in the world you are.
Whenever you leverage your networking efforts, your GM will secretly roll a percentile dice. If they roll a number equal to or lower than your cumulative check divided by 10 (minimum of 1), you face a complication. For example, if you're leveraging a cumulative check of 50, you have a 5% chance to trigger a complication.
