How it works

−15 with every faction, 5 points from the −20 penalties: Lower Levels at −20 costs a customer a day, and very low reputation with any faction risks nightly vandalism. Cannot be combined with Well Connected.

Rating

DAvoid for progression

Two returned points cost 15 raw reputation with every faction. From neutral, only five more points of loss reach -20; recovering several relationships competes with normal business and worsens bargaining at negative reputation.

On Red InkWith later gains halved and losses doubled, the all-faction liability is especially poor for Chemist and Fence, which already have adverse Security starts.
