A cell of Harpers is not alone. In addition to their handler, they have the right to call on other Harpers for assistance. Of course, the degree of assistance depends greatly on the reputation of the cell with the rest of the faction.

Assistance Check: The assistance check is a simple d20 check, with a bonus equal to the cell's Connections rank.

• Increasing Penalty: If the test results in assistance of some kind, inflict a -1 penalty to subsequent assistance checks. This is both cumulative with future rolls and remains until it goes away in one of three ways.
  • Investment Increase: When another point of Investment is added to the Connections trait, reduce the current penalty by one.
  • Giving It Time: For each month that passes that the cell does not attempt to call on assistance, reduce the current penalty by one.
  • Rank Increase: When the Connections rank increases or decreases, reset the penalty to 0.
