Sorry about the number of edits on my posts sometimes. Most of it is just small bits of text formatting that I missed and I'm a bit OCD sometimes. Will try harder to get it all perfect on the first go.
No worries on the editing. I hate when I see little typos in my post. As the GM it doesn't track all the edits I make, and you can't change you die rolls without deleting the whole comment, so it doesn't bother me.

I'm really enjoying this game so far. I'm getting some Noir vibes from it, which is a rare thing to find in a D&D game.

Makes you happy for milestone leveling!

Well, glad you all are enjoying things. We should be moving forward very soon. But yeah, Milestone XP means no one is really missing out.

I think we might need to officially quantify the benefits and drawbacks of being in a mid-level position at a wide-reaching law-enforcement institution.

I think the background and renown rules do that fairly well? The Azorius ones, for instance:

As an Azorius official, you can call on recruits (use the soldier stat block in chapter 6) to perform mundane tasks and errands for you, but they will not accompany you into dangerous circumstances.

You have the authority to enforce the laws of Ravnica, and that status inspires a certain amount of respect and even fear in the populace. People mind their manners in your presence and avoid drawing your attention; they assume you have the right to be wherever you are. Showing your Azorius insignia gets you an audience with anyone you want to talk to (though it might cause more problems than it solves when you're dealing with incorrigible lawbreakers). If you abuse this privilege, though, you can get in serious trouble with your superiors and even be stripped of your position.


What other aspects were you hoping to quantify?

Sooooooo....are we considering this game dead now then?

I was wondering the same thing.

Yes, those are the individual benefits but the larger social benefits of being in a place that has a police service is kind of ridiculous by D&D standards. For example, it would make sense that officials can get secure prisoner transport/paramedics/forensic services/coroners just by virtue of this being a half-decent police force. This gives us a massive home-field advantage.
