====Affinity / Enmity Values ====
^Affinity/ Enmity^Degree of Affinity/Enmity^Notes^
|0 |None |No Affinity/Enmity towards the Traveller. This may be an enemy or just someone who does not care at all what happens to the Traveller, depending on Enmity|
|1 |Vaguely well inclined|About as well inclined towards the Traveller as any random stranger with a social conscience is likely to be. They will take minor actions to help, largely out of common courtesy, but not go to much trouble on the Traveller’s behalf unless there are benefits to the action.|
|2 |Positively inclined|Will probably help in a safe and easy manner if asked, even without reward, but will not take much risk.|
|3 |Very positively inclined|Will take modest risks on the Traveller’s behalf or offer help without being asked, if they realise their friend could benefit.|
|4 |Loyal friend |Will do almost anything to help the Traveller, but may have higher loyalties to their own family, cause or service, or to other close friends.|
|5 |Love(1) |Will probably put the Traveller’s interests before their own or that of others.|
|6 |Fanatical(2) |Will do whatever the Traveller asks of them (or what they think the Traveller would want), no matter what risks are involved. May also expect others to do the same.|
|-1 |Mistrustful |Vaguely ill-disposed towards the Traveller (or perhaps everyone in general) but will not go out of their way to impede them. Someone with an Enmity value of -1 is unlikely to take an action that will have serious consequences for the Traveller unless there is some great benefit.|
|-2 |Negatively inclined|May engage in acts of petty spite for no gain, just to annoy and upset the Traveller. Someone with an Enmity value of -2 will probably stop short of actions that would seriously harm or kill the Traveller.|
|-3 |Very negatively inclined|Will go to some trouble to impede the Traveller, just out of spite. Does not care much what happens to the Traveller and will more than likely feel they deserve anything they get.|
|-4 |Hatred |Will do almost anything to get one over on the Traveller. Might actively plot against the Traveller for the sake of revenge or causing further harm even if there is little or no gain involved.|
|-5 |Bitter hatred(3) |Will actively plot or take serious risks to cause the Traveller harm at any opportunity.|
|-6 |Blinded by hate(4)|May engage in self-destructive actions in order to harm the Traveller, or put innocents at risk.|

//(1) Love might be romantic or in the manner of a close family member, comrade through some traumatic event, or the like. Someone who owes a debt of honour to the Traveller, even if they do not like the Traveller all that much, might also have an affinity value of 5. //

//(2) This level of affinity is rare and may not be healthy for either party. A deluded stalker might have an affinity value of 6 but other considerations make them dangerous.//

//(3) Bitter hatred can also represent an obligation to destroy the Traveller. The reasons might be personal or on behalf  of someone else. Alternatively, the enmity might be due to the Traveller’s opposition to a cause. It might even be  altruistic after a fashion – someone who genuinely believes the Traveller is a bad guy who must be stopped may be  just as determined to destroy them as someone who hates the Traveller on a personal level.//

//(4) Someone with this much hated may be willing to harm others to get to the Traveller, and may extend their enmity to his friends and comrades.//
