It would be cool if the powers of holly wariors such as the Paladin partially depended on their rep.

It does, Paladins and Rangers can lose their powers, and become fallen if there rep goes to low (IIRC 10 for Pal's and 3? for rangers.

I think reputation is too monolithic. There's just no way you can represent all of a party's history in just one number.

I'd much, much rather that there were several fields for reputation:

- Selfishness / Charity
- Vengefulness / Forgiveness
- Boldness / Cowardice

Then NPCs could judge your actions more intelligently. For example, Korgan is Bold, Vengeful and Selfish, while Anomen is Bold, Vengeful and Charitable. Both will agree with Bold and Vengeful actions.

Keldorn (and all Paladins) must be Bold, Charitable and Forgiving.
Edwin is Selfish, Vengeful and Cowardly.
Jan is Forgiving and Bold.
Aerie is Charitable and Cowardly.

Uh, anyway, yeah, reputation is insufficient.

What I mean is that it would be cool if Paladins would do extra damage and gain special powers when they have a high rep.

Does Keldorn become "fallen" if you make evil actions?

Yep. I atleast think so.
Or maybe not. No, he wont be. Cause if you do evil things, and your rep drops alot, he will leave your party before he get fallen.
The only one who can be fallen, is yourself, if you're a Paladin or Ranger.

see ya!

Strong wind was slapping my face. I can feel the ground shake. The sky roars with vengeance and fury. From the shadows, I heard the Archmage's words:"İbne Fenner!" And then..I can't remember the rest..
