I need a clarification on a particular line from page 14 in the Jade Regent Player's Handbook.
You can give a gift or an insult to an NPC once per character level
Which does this mean?
1) You can give only one gift or insult total per character level.
2) You can give one gift or insult per NPC per character level.
Lets look at this in a different context.
Once per day, you can give an apple to a friend.
This implies to me, that you can only give one apple.
I'd read that same context, and go with number 2. though I've read the Jade Regent handbook, and I'm likely to say number 1 was RAI.

Did you get the numbers backwards? Your argument seems to be that RAW means you can only give one apple total, but the way you reference the numbers seems to counteract that.
sorry, I did. I believe RAW to be 1, and RAI to be 2.

That's generally my interpretation, too. If you go with RAW, the system encourages and rewards players who only concentrate on their relationships with a single NPC. If you go with (my interpretation of) RAI, then players are rewarded for interacting with every NPC they can.
