Merit Details

Professional Training (Journalist) 3: I have training as a print journalist, which offers distinct advantages.

- Asset Skills: Investigation, Expression

• Networking: I've built connections within my chosen field.

- Contacts: Journalists, Police

• Continuing Education: With the repeated efforts in my field, I tend toward greater successes. When making a roll with my Asset Skills, I benefit from the 9-again quality.
• Breadth of Knowledge: I've picked up a number of particular bits of information and skills unique to my work. Choose a third Asset Skill, and take two Specialties in your character’s Asset Skills.

- Additional Asset Skill: Persuasion

- Additional Specialties: Fast Talking, Interviewing

Allies (Portland City Government) 2: Allies help your character. Each dot represents a layer of influence in the group. One dot would constitute small favors and passing influence. Three could offer considerable influence, such as the police overlooking a misdemeanor charge. Five dots stretches the limits of the organization’s influence, as its leaders put their own influence on the line for the character. This could include things such as massive insider trading or fouling up a felony investigation. No matter the request, it has to be something that organization could accomplish. A character can ask for favors that add up to her Allies rating without penalty in one chapter. If she extends her influence beyond that, her player must roll Manipulation + Persuasion + Allies, with a penalty equal to the favor’s rating. If the roll is successful, the group does as requested. Failed or successful, the character loses a dot of Allies. This dot may return at the end of the chapter On a dramatic failure, the organization resents her and seeks retribution. On an exceptional success, she doesn’t lose the dot. One additional favor a character can ask of her Allies is to block another character’s Allies, Contacts, Mentor, Retainer, or Status (if she knows the character possesses the relevant Merit). The rating is equal to the Merit dots blocked.

Resources (Wealthy Family) 1: One dot is a little spending money here and there. Two is a comfortable, middle class wage. Three is a nicer, upper middle class life. Four is moderately wealthy. Five is filthy rich. Every item has an Availability rating. Once per chapter, your character can procure an item at her Resources level or lower, without issue. An item one Availability above her Resources reduces her effective Resources by one dot for a full month, since she has to rapidly liquidate funds.

Trained Observer 1: I have spent time in the field, catching details and digging for secrets. I might not have a better chance of finding things, but I have a better chance of finding important things. Any time I make a Perception roll (usually Wits + Composure), I benefit from the 9-again quality.
