My reputation is 19 and Edwin wants to leave :( I don't him to, but I also don't want to shoot a commoner, for roleplaying purposes. So what is the best way to lower my rep by, say 2 or 3 points?

The easiest way is to just turn into the slayer. Though this is hard if you dont have the ability... [img]tongue.gif[/img]
But except that, killing will be the only real effective way. ;) </font>

Or you could get caught stealing from a shop--try Enge's Shop in Waukeen's Promenade. You'll lose 1 or 2 points, and you'll never be able to buy non-enchanted Maces or Throwing Axes there again. Boo hoo.

Hmmmmmm i think edwin is a loser [img]graemlins/evillaughter1.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/evillaughter2.gif[/img]

In the city you start in, there is an area that is more 'nice' than the others... the name escapes me, but you find Jan Jansen the gnome there... there is also a drow-woman who wants to join your party, and that will lower your rep by 2!

Welcome to Ironworks, by the way.

The safest way to do it is to steal. Go to some nondescript merchant or store or find some commoner (preferably indoors so they don't raise the alarm) that you will never go to again that sells crap anyway (there are a few at Waukeens Promenade). Steal something and then do the bolt. Don't kill them unless you want to drop your rep drastically. ;)

Thanx for the suggestion guys [img]smile.gif[/img]

One question though, If you hire Viconia you lose 2 rep points. But if you drop her again, I don't believe you get the rep points back right? So then if you would hire her again would you again lose 2 rep points? That would be convenient [img]smile.gif[/img]

That is correct. But be careful - if you drop her, or she dies, you might find Edwin doing the bolt when you least want him to. ;)

If it makes you feel better - get a non-good (or a chaotic good) thief to do the pickpocketing. That's in keeping with roleplay.

Ehr ...
I've allways had my 2 rep. points restored once i dropped her ...
