So I'm looking into making a PFS Vigilante, and I was thinking of getting the Renown Social Trait and being in Absolom.
Now, believe it or not, I know what your thinking. Your immidiate reaction is "That trait only lets you work with a population of up to 200 people, and Absolom has a population of 300,000+!
But I want to make use of the ability for the vigilante to have renown in 'a section of the city.' I was just wondering if there was a detailed list of which areas of the city have what populations, so that I could have renown in, say, the Grand Lodge, or (with the great renown trait boosting the population to 5000, a place like the merchant's quarter.)
Now, I know the normal response is 'check with your GM,' but given that this is for Pathfinder Society, I'd like to have a leg to stand on when going up against table variation. Anyone able to help me out?
First off, renown has this written right in, "this could be the entire community or a smaller neighborhood in a larger settlement," when it comes to the 200 individuals community thing, so it was never a stretch of vigilantes having Absalom as his area of renown. By level 4 or so any central area he picks the radius for the intimidate bonus in vigilante identity would cover most, if not all, the city.
Second, good sources of Absalom districts is the Guide to Absalom book Kinevon stated, or you can check out the Absalom entry in the Pathfinder Wiki.
Definitely check out the local city guards in each district as that can affect how you want your vigilante to behave or what his goals are. For example, the watch for the Puddles or Coin district are pretty corrupt and could benefit from having a vigilante around making the criminals and the local law there watch their own backs.
