Dr. Silverback as a Contact

[Dr. MID-Nite]

I run a Millennium City and one of the players wants him as a Contact. How much do you think he'd be worth?

Contact Dr Silverback (Contact has access to major institutions, Contact has significant Contacts of his own, Contact has: extremely useful Skills or resources, Very Good relationship with Contact) 14-

you could probably pay a few more poiints to have him available more or make it only good terms

I guess at a certain point it's just better buying a follower instead of a contact. 12 Whole Points for a Contact that will come up how often? The sad thing is Freakboy is correct about the cost in 5th Ed.

I tend to err on the side of mercy/cheapness when it comes to contacts, particularly if I think there is a chance that (much like a DNPC) there will be times when knowing the person can give the character troubles or even danger. After all, if this hero has Doc Silverback as a contact, it is also likely Doc Silverback sees the hero as HIS contact and may try to call in for whatever his expertise is.
