Contacts provide your character information in a particular area of awareness. Each dot in this Merit represents one arena or circle in which your character has a web of connections and from which he may draw information. If he has Contacts ●●●, his dots might be assigned to computer hackers, couriers and big business, respectively. Contacts can include individuals whom you or the Storyteller defines, but more likely they comprise an array of people from whom your character can draw information with a phone call, email or face-to-face query. Contacts is strictly information-gathering. Contacts do not come perform services for your character or rush to his aid. Those actions are the purview of other Merits such as [[Allies]] and [[Retainer]].

Contacts provide your character information in a particular area of awareness. Each dot in this Merit represents one arena or circle in which your character has a web of connections and from which he may draw information. If he has Contacts ●●●, his dots might be assigned to computer hackers, couriers and big business, respectively. Contacts can include individuals whom you or the Storyteller defines, but more likely they comprise an array of people from whom your character can draw information with a phone call, email or face-to-face query. Contacts is strictly information-gathering. Contacts do not come perform services for your character or rush to his aid. Those actions are the purview of other Merits such as Allies and Retainer.

Please read the bold text. Contacts aren't bought repeatedly -- it's a single Merit. Each dot allows one more set of Contacts rather than degree/depth.


Drawback

Contacts aren't all-knowing, and the Storyteller is perfectly justified in saying that a particular contact simply doesn't know something.

Further Reading

Contacts should fall into the pre-defined Spheres of Influence on Edge of Darkness.


This is a site-wide House Rule Allies cannot be insta-generated by Powers (Pledges, Spells, etc.). Contacts which allow information or assistance from out-of-venue supernaturals (ex. Werewolf Contacts for Vampires, Vampire Contacts for Changelings, etc.) require approval from the appropriate venue's ST. The EoD game only uses Contacts pertaining to the local (municipal/city) level; federal and military Contacts are unavailable to avoid conflicts of jurisdiction.
