Choose Faction Standings
Your character starts with two faction standings that affect their relationships in Enigma:
+3 Standing with one faction (trusted ally, potential benefits).
-3 Standing with another faction (rival or enemy, potential hostilities).
The average faction standings of your party will influence the group’s connections and unlock specific perks, as well as determine initial allies or adversaries. In some campaigns, faction choices may be predetermined. For example, if the party begins as fugitives, they might start with -3 standing with the Breakers and +3 standing with the Unchained.

Example: I believe my bounty hunter’s faction standings should reflect their work history. As a bounty hunter, they have a positive reputation with the Reapers. Additionally, I declined a lucrative contract from Exaltaco because it went against my moral code, resulting in my bounty hunter being viewed as an adversary by Exaltaco. Therefore, I will begin with a +3 standing with the Reapers and a -3 standing with Exaltaco.
