Message: <blockquote data-quote="Hriston" data-source="post: 9349692" data-attributes="member: 6787503">I didn't say you know the local messengers everywhere/on all planes. I'm pretty sure I've already said this too, but you (meaning your PC) know the local messengers in the places where you (the player) use the feature. That's it, and it isn't nonsensical.Seriously? It makes perfect sense. It's telling you what you know. You know (1) "how to get messages to and from your contact, even over great distances;" and this knowledge (i.e. (1) above) breaks down "specifically" into (1a) "the local messengers" who can deliver messages for you , (1b) the "corrupt caravan masters" who can deliver messages for you, and (1c) the "seedy sailors who can deliver messages for you." It's saying you know these people as the means (the "how") by which you communicate with your contact. How does that not make sense to you?I'm honestly not sure what distinction you're trying to make here. Of course your character already knows them! It's knowledge your character gained in their past, thus related to their background as a criminal. Now, I'm grasping at straws here, but you've been putting a great deal of emphasis on the word specifically and have just done it again, and it occurs to me you might be reading the quoted text as something like "you know specific local messengers", and if that's the case, while it wouldn't describe something not encompassed by the actual text, I'd say that's just a wrong interpretation and would make the feature needlessly rigid. One can obviously know people collectively as a group, which is what the text actually says. I.e. you know these three categories of people. I'd gloss specifically as used in that sentence as "to be precise".</blockquote>
