Tokens

• Minor tokens are small acts that don't take much time or investment from a PC. Examples include offering a simple or casual gift (like a bouquet of flowers from a nearby shop), apologizing for previous wrongdoing, talking to an NPC about how their day is going, spending a day of downtime strengthening the connection, or swearing a lowstakes oath.
• Moderate tokens require considerable investment or resources. They typically require effort or commitment from the PC, such as fulfilling a complicated promise, spending a week of downtime strengthening the connection, giving a particularly thoughtful or effortful gift (like a bouquet of the NPC's favorite rare flowers, gathered from a nearby forest), or doing a favor that includes overcoming a moderate encounter.
• Major tokens are taxing requests. These typically require a long-term commitment from the PC, such as cementing a relationship as legally binding (such as adding the NPC into the PC's will or giving a business partner a permanent ownership stake), spending a month of downtime strengthening the relationship, presenting a gift with significant personal meaning and long-term effort or investment (like building a garden or greenhouse so the NPC's favorite rare flowers can be enjoyed all year long), or fulfilling a request for the NPC that includes multiple moderate encounters.
