Lady Avalon,

Firstly lets do the easy bit. The numbers in red in the characters profiles refer to changes in strengths, intelligence caused by magic items or potions i.e. if you are a normal 17 strength and then you put on a pair of gauntlets of ogre strength, your new strength will be 18/00 and this will be shown in red to show the change. Check to see want magic items you have!

Next... your problem with reputation, if you have a predominately good group of characters and you accidentally kill someone i.e an innocent passerby then this will drop your reputation by 4 odd points if this keeps happening and your rep. drops to 1/2 points good characters will start to leave. one of the easiest ways to accidentally kill an innocent is if you are fighting in a public space in a town for example and you unleash an area effect spell like a fireball and it accidentally not only gets your intended victim, but also 1, 2 or more innocent passersby. then unknowingly your rep is dropping. As a note listen out for comments from your squad as they will soon let you know if you hit someone you shouldn't.

Hope this explains the problems.
