RANK 1 • Loanshark: A shady business-person recognizes that you're new around here, and tries to hook you on a loan with extremely unfavorable terms.
RANK 2 • Trade Embargo: Something you really want or need isn't available anywhere, even though you're certain you've seen other people with it. Shopkeepers tell you it's impossible to find - although it might be traded in the Kel'ghau black market.
RANK 3 • Bank Error, Possibly in Your Favor: An odd job you get pays more than advertised by accident or you're given change that's worth twice the thing you bought. If you speak up about the error, you'll be told to keep the money! If not and the error is noticed, you might have an official inquiry on your hands. • Limited-Time Offer: You get a coupon to reduce the price of a meal or other purchase, but it's going to expire in the next week.
RANK 4 • On the House: A friendly cafe or restaurant owner treats you - the bill is on them! Come back again soon. • Low-Rent Luxury: While looking for a place to stay, you're offered reduced rent while you get settled into the city and can pay off what's due by helping the renter do maintenance or run errands if you don't have a job.
RANK 5 • Dream Job: You're hired for a position that's perfect for you, and it comes with a nice paycheck and benefits! • Great Connections!: You know enough of the movers, shakers, and suppliers in the city that when your next big project hits, it's a cinch to line up all the resources you need. At significant discounts, too, because they like you so darn much. Good job networking, friend!
