[QUOTE="Kichwas, post: 1361780, member: 891"] I don't think so on either charge. if I get the benefit as a result of leveling, I get it. If it's a part of ingame reality, it needs to be given as a result of ingame actions. We've long managed to rationalize getting more hitpoints and skills from killing Orcs - a far stretch in many cases - but if we are to now have inroads with the Baroness, it should come from actually meeting her. And it should be available even if we don't level as a result of meeting her. If you want to tie the aquisition of contacts to a mechanic, tie it to diplomacy checks. A little bit of playtesting could have addressed that issue before people put money on it. :p [/QUOTE]
