1.10 Relationships
Relationships represent the character's status in the world and his
reputation with the people who know him/her.
This can be positive (e.g. people who like him/her, etc.) or negative
(e.g. enemies).
A character's relationships will tend to change during later play, as
he/she meets new people and becomes more widely known.
There are three types of relationship represented in this game:
- Status, which shows the basic reaction that
other members of society will have to him/her, and also indicates what
his/her rights are within the local society;
- Duties, which represent connections who can
call on him/her for favours, or in a more severe case can order him/her
around or control his/her life;
- Friends and enemies, i.e. people or groups
of people with whom the character has established a reputation (positive
or negative) and so who will act towards him/her based on that
reputation.
