Feature: Friendly Contacts

In the city or town you lived in for the majority of your life, you picked up quite a few best friends. You have 1d4 contacts that will go beyond normal helpfulness for you: they might loan you a couple gp in your time of need, let you and the party rest at their humble abode, and other very nice acts, and they consider any member of the party you're with to be their friends if they are nice. Work with your DM to design the NPC contacts.
