I hope the German version has all the errata in it!
I found the contact rules, eventually, on pages 50-51 of CRB6 (english).
- GM roles connection + connection and looks at the chart on page 50 to figure out what contact knows
- then role Influence + Charisma + Loyalty to see how man of those successes they will share for free
Of course when you consider that Connection ratings above 5 are very rare, and that the table on 50 only starts to give 'some whispers of gossip' on 4 successes, and 'behind the scense familiarity' on 5 successes, it is not actually often that contacts will know much of great use :-/
Anyway, CHAR+Influence+loyalty rolls:
contact Marie 88:
16d6t5 6contact Detective Pat Billings:
16d6t5 3 (I modified the write-up for Pat Billings, after I remembered some of my original intent, including that Pat is short for Patricia, not Patrick)
Also, I have a character creation issue:
- apparently Connection levels now go up to 12 (I think they only went to 7 or 8 in 5th?),
- I took a couple of waaaaay above our level contacts as connection 6 -- the highest you can take in character creation (less as 'people I really expected to use' and more as 'defining the character'). But on the 12 level scale they should be more like a 10. So if Aria doesn't object I'll change Kalanyr (dragon) and Caroline Villiers (the Villiers daughter) out for some more appropriate Connection 6 contacts.
