NPC Interactions
- A typical NPC will start at indifferent when meeting an NPC.
- Based on society and faction expectations adjust the relationship.
- Relationships changed based on the interactions.
- When interacting with an NPC any checks should be eased or hindered by the indicated amount.
First Interaction: When encountering an NPC for the first time start at indifferent and adjust your relationship based on society and faction expectations. This is where your character will start the relationship.
Following Interactions: Roll a d12. Move the attitude indicator in the direction of the rolled number one step. This is a temporary state and will only last for this scene unless you make a drastic change in the relationship status and it changes permanently. For any modifiers in social interactions use the original disposition, only their current attitude towards you is changed as their mood has.
