If the group has a face, is there really a reason to have a fixer? Finding anything is a Negotiation + Charisma test, and most Faces should have a higher total than their fixer, or at least in the same ballpark. Since it technically doesn't require any contacts to find anything, that aspect of the Fixer biz isn't needed.

I have personal house rules for getting around this and am curious about what others do.

Thanks!
