The Friends We Made Along the Way
Certain night out activities can allow an adventurer to strike up a rapport with an NPC. These NPCs are always friendly towards the adventurer that successfully gained their favor, unless the adventurer behaves in a way that breaks this bond. They are generally available to help the player with small, reasonable requests that pose no risk for them, and can potentially become Followers if the players earn the reward. Prestige checks to call in a favor directly related to such NPCs are considered 1 level lower (minimum 0). Below are a list of potential identities and character traits. The Narrator can roll 1d10, choose, or make up their own.
