I will be starting my group up next week and i intend to run them through season 4 with the dawn of the artifacts spliced in. I haven't had much trouble converting it to 5.0 except for updating the contacts you gain. As you all know 4.0's connection rating went to 6 but now it goes to 12. Most of my group doesn't have many social skills, so having well connected contacts will be important for their future gear and legwork needs.
I have posted their names and original connection ratings along with my guess as to what the new rating should be along with a little bit of justification. Let me know what you guys think!
BTW feel free to discuss openly. I warned my players to lurk here at their own risk. I put the spoiler in simply to save space
[spoiler]
Mac Callister CR 5
My gut says 6 but an Argument could be made for 7
ADA Dana Oaks CR 4
Was thinking 5 as she is only the assistant
Moreau CR4
Not Sure if he should be 5 or 6 due to his ties with DF and his long connections to Seattle
Laurent Nazaire CR 5
seems the standard is to add +1 so 6
Athena tat opoulos CR4
6? She has an extensive network of informants and reporters,
Joe Martin CR3
5? Knows several people and has a moderate degree of social influence; a city
councilman or a low-level executive it a small-to-medium corporation.
Pip CR1
3 Has a few friends, but not a lot of social influence.
Tosh Athack CR 2
4 Seeing as how he doesnt seem to have too much influence
Lin Yao Chang CR 4
5 was thinking 5 but he does know a great dragon so maybe 6?
Simon Andrews CR4
seems the standard is to add +1 so 5
Fiona Craig CR 2
3 seeing as how she seems to have little power
Frosty CR5
This is the one i am truly stumped on. She knows and is close to some of the biggest power players on earth. My gut says 8 but that is the bigest upgrade any of these people have gotten :/
