[QUOTE="JamesonCourage, post: 6178665, member: 6668292"] I'll keep that in mind. I'm trying to run the game close to RAW, but I'll consider giving more out if I feel like they need it. I know that Amanda wants to start / work out of a city, and my cities almost always have book shops or scholars that'll answer non-hidden information for a few coins (I'll still roll a check for the NPC most of the time). This shouldn't be a problem. I won't introduce a specific NPC, but I'll bring these up as options, and if they keep going to one NPC, he might become the "featured" NPC when it comes to gaining knowledge. I know that my regular group is used to gaining information through sources outside the party, and hopefully I can help this group get there, too, if they don't do it naturally. Thanks for the advice. It is! I'm glad so many people are helpful, and that nobody has come in to threadcrap. Interesting.
