Contacts

Talents

You know people, sometimes in the unlikeliest places.

Effect

D4

You can attempt to make a contact out of a NPC with a successful Charm test. You can also roll this die. The GM will set the target number based on the likelihood of you knowing the NPC or having mutual friends. The more distant the NPC’s homeland or social class from yours, the more difficult the test will be. A contact will be friendly to you, but won’t go out of the way to help you without additional motivation. You can’t make a contact out of a NPC who already dislikes you or is an enemy.

D8

Once you’ve established a contact, you can try to get a favor with another successful Charm test. Again, you can also roll this die. The target number is based on the nature of the favor and whether it puts the contact in any danger.

D12

You can turn an acquaintance into an ally with a show of loyalty. If you do a significant favor for a contact, they will treat you as a friend when you ask them for favors. They will go out of their way to help you and will be willing to put themselves in danger for you.
