This question relates to my previous ramblings about a druid/ranger party. It also is more general.

I feel like you always gain reputation points for doing quests. Therefore, as a neutral character, it is difficult to do something to right the balance fo forces in teh world. No one ever says, thanks for making things more balanced, here is 45,000 xp, a nice sword, and I am going to take away a reputation point. Do they?!?!? This seems like a real flaw in the concept.
So, to play my neutral party, I will have to do quests like Umar Hills, Trademeet, Windspear Hills, freeing Slaves (something a neutral would definitely do in my opinion- wage labor only, no slave labor!) and then figure out a way to reduce my reputation by very small increments. The only reputation reducing I have noticed is in chunks of ten for killing random people.

Any ideas on how to micromanage reputation to keep it in the 12-16 range?
