I had one character who ran a "free" clinic. While his income from
running paid his bills, people in the neighborhood would sometimes give
him stuff for his magical and mundane healing methods. Little bits of
info, small gifts of cash, or even homemade brownies (which, incidentally,
the rest of the runner team looked at me like I was insane for bringing to
the planning meet.. they still ate them, though <g>). It had the added
benefit of, in addition to a wee bit of spare money, a great set of
alibi's... if everyone agrees that I couldn't have done that job because I
was taking care of Timmy while he goblinized (Timmy now being about 9 feet
tall and playing with a Buick like a Matchbox, all while grinning at the
cop), well, it seems I've got a rock-solid alibi. The Naked Dwarf was a
great character to play... too bad he had to go and get himself eaten by a
dragon.
