Maybe allow Outlanders to somehow do it magically through the tree for free, but add in some rather glaring drawbacks: Request-like lag and must be visible. Perhaps add in a success rate percentage too, so it doesn't work every time either.

Maybe allow subvert or vandalize to double as an intimidation tactic at the appropriate store? That would allow some room for failure/success rates, since they'd be getting repairs for free. Not sure what the goodie option for this would be.
