It's a perk for a peacemaker priest or social club owner in a certain type of Hollywood movie, or a tolerated snitch, or a priest or herald in a medieval game; someone who somehow gets away with talking to everyone, on both sides of every dividing line there is, without anyone trusting them the less. It sort-of encompasses Broad Minded, without any of the possible minor drawbacks of that, and no problem with getting the player to roleplay it (because if they don't, it's just a wasted point anyway).

"So Father MacIrishman was talkin' to the Sharks last week, and to Officer Krupke yesterday? Yeah, well, that's what priests do - and he ain't gonna sell us out or anythin'. Everyone reckons he's cool."

"Bubbles is talking to the cops? Yeah, whatever. He's a dope fiend, right? He'll talk to anyone. Don't mean nothin'."
This is very interesting. I wonder how much 'social immunity' a single perk should be allowed to cover and how the could be categorized if more than one is appropriate.

Like this?

Perk: Feud Immunity?
Or Perk: Feud Immunity (Hatfields and McCoys)?
