Contacts
My friend is running a game some what based off of breaking bad. Modern day crime game. I wanted my character to have a contact not unlike Saul Goodmen, he is the guy that know a guy. If my character needed to get his hands on some guns in a not strictly speaking legal fashion, he calls his friend, his friends gets him in touch with an arms dealer. What advantage would this be, how would I stat it, and how much would it cost?

Re: Contacts
Check out RPK's Friend of a Friend modifier. I have it from him that you could apply the same modifier to contacts of a contact... so you could make the Saul-like character an ally or a contact and then buy additional contacts with FoaF on them. I think this is what you want.

Re: Contacts
Contacts are ridiculously overpriced for what you get... you're usually better off buying an Ally that stays out of the action.

"Stays out of the action" is probably a significant limitation as well, akin to "Fixed Location" and the like. More importantly it feel like a better match for the value. Contacts are just over priced for the benefit. |

Re: Contacts
Thank you all for your help. Just one more question how much would it cost to have an arms dealer as a contact or as an ally?Some one who can sell guns to my character or the group.
