Since most adventuring will take the characters far from their homelands, they will usually have to rely on the services of others for tasks such as cooking meals, mending armour, and repairing weapons. Certain services, like thugging, assassination, and whoring, may radically affect a character's alignment. Crew and passengers can only hire Ships’ Whores. A Ship’s Whore often doubles as an herbalist or lay physician. [Table]
Some services require a Tithe. A Tithe is considered 10% of all assets, not just what the character currently carries on his or her person. Thus, raising the dead isn't cheap, but then of what price life?
Certain difficult services require a Quest rather than monetary payment. A Quest is a dangerous mission assigned by the Church in exchange for a dangerous request (like destroying an evil magical artifact.) Thus, while the Church will perform the request for free, the beneficiary will probably end up wishing cold cash would do.
