Locations¶
Locations are places where the Hero has home field advantage. Maybe from years living on the streets of that place, or it could be their own apartment building or a place they spent a lot of time.
Locations come in two varieties contiguous real estate, such as a neighborhood or a city and types of places like bars or research labs.
The larger the location or more general and common the kind of places the less advantage the Hero can squeeze from this Boon. The places Heroes can get the most benefit are all singular unique buildings
Locations can be built in groups like Gear. The higher levels being more specific or subgroups of the broader parent location. The City Washington, D.C. might have a Neighborhood of Capitial Hill which might itself have a Building of U.S. Capital.

This Boon represents a large part of the campaign world (but not all of it), or commonly available sorts of locations.
In a dimension hopping fantasy this could be a whole dimension, while in a city centered story it might be the financial district. How big the space should be is greatly impacted by how big the adventuring space is.
It could also be a commonly encountered kind of location, such as coffee houses, schools or transit stations.

Like City sized Locations, the size of this Boon is dependent on the scope of the campaign, in a story where the Heroes travel between a dozen cities, this would be a city, for a city based story, the Hero could probably cross it in fifteen minutes on foot.
Locations that are a kind of place become more rarified;
universities, government buildings or tourist destinations.
The kind of places that there are only a few in
each major part of the adventuring space.
At this scale the Location might be a combination of both real estate and a common kind of location, Downtown Coffee Shops, Suburban Schools or Seattle Ley Lines.

At this level, this is almost certainly a specific building or set of buildings, even in the most expansive campaigns.
In theory this could be a rare kind of location in a neighborhood sized space, but that generally means a single building in all but truly multiverse or interstellar scale campaigns.
