People seemed to like the previous list, so I thought I’d make some more.

1. Honorary Titles (courtesy of Vlad)
2. Free passage aboard any vessel in the fleet
3. A scroll of any spell the court wizard can cast
4. A manual outlining the fundamentals of the local language
5. A portion of land with a fixer-upper of a keep
6. The finest hound from the kennels
7. A large, unidentified, jewel encrusted egg
8. The captain of the guard as a retainer
9. A map detailing the location of a mythic treasure
10. The book of vile darkness
11. A willow extract that cures headaches
12. A book of coupons (near expiry)

A great list! I hope you don’t mind my adding ten of my own…

1. Access to a library where PCs can find a book that will give them a +2 bonus on any one knowledge check should they spend a few hours searching and reading among its tomes (cannot be retried until player has put at least one more rank in that skill)
2. A painting/statue of a subject of their choice
3. Access to a restricted area or person (thieves guild fence, head alchemist, the prisons, etc)
4. 10-25% discount on any items in a store
5. Permission to court/marry a family member without the family taking action against it
6. Approval to teleport to this (or the NPCs) location at any time, should they need a quick check in or a place to hide. If its a place, the NPC will ensure that the area is stocked with bed rolls, water and basic food, as well as a couple healing items, once a week.
7. A broken artifact and a rumor of where it can be reforged
8. A new, trained, animal companion
9. The friendship, loyalty, and trust of an NPC
10. A +2 bonus (diplomacy or the like) on any negotiations of rewards to be given from this NPC, or anyone in the NPC’s social network  
    

I’ve got a few of these on my blog as well. I’ve started calling them Community Lists (and I will add that tag to the older lists someday, I promise).
