no disagreement, they can make contact, but to me that still runs counter to what their feature saysNo, they wouldn't have contacts, but they could easily make contacts.
"You have a reliable and trustworthy contact who acts as your liaison to a network of other criminals. You know how to get messages to and from your contact, even over great distances; specifically, you know the local messengers, corrupt caravan masters, and seedy sailors who can deliver messages for you."
So you do not know the local contacts (but you can establish contact), and I do not expect them to be able to get a message to your contact on a different plane either. They can however provide you with some local support
despite the 'you seem trustworthy...' bit being what the feature says.... ("You can find a place to hide, rest, or recuperate among other commoners, unless you have shown yourself to be a danger to them. ")Likewise, the Folk Hero would have to RP some contact with the commoners first and establish a rapport, and then those commoners would be willing to help them out. It's never going to be a "you seem trustworthy, total stranger I met two minutes ago, come on in" type of thing.
agreed, my complaint is more about the implications of it being automatic and instantaneous in the feature, and depending on the case the actual benefit you can get (get a message to your contact on another plane? not in most cases...)It would require roleplay on the part of the player, of course, in order to make those contacts and establish that rapport. But it shouldn't be just a blanket no from the GM just because.
