Let a good deed for one faction anger its enemies, but only once

Helping the guild should please its friends and annoy its rivals, but if friends of friends react too, one deed shakes the whole world. Here is a ripple rule that stays one step deep, keeps small deeds from rounding away, and refuses contradictory friendships.

Why this works

Reactions that trigger further reactions feed on themselves, and one deed can shake the whole world. Stopping after one step keeps cause and effect easy to see, and counting in fine units lets small deeds add up instead of vanishing.

When not to use it

Skip it in a story about rumours and chain reactions, where the spreading is the point and the player should feel the news travel. There let the effect fade with each step, and let it take time to arrive.
