The player just yaks on how they "know another rich noble who gives them free money".  The Fan/Buddy DM just says "ok, " and the player just writes down any amount of their sheet.As I am not a fan/buddy DM I's say, "nope, no free money for you", and the player will complain.I use the common sense that your only a "noble" in and around your home area...and mostly near by places that are part of the same society.  But a lot of places don't recognize the nobility of your place.  Plenty of places have no idea of "nobility" in their society and/or won't see the crazy murderhobo self insert player as any kind of "noble" person.</blockquote>
