Your guide advocates staying in slums to save money. The problem with
staying in the slums is that you take a hit to local rep for every night
you're in there.

Yes, but with a properly formed beginning party, and the fact that you can defeat multiple gangs of ruffians at night in the slums, this effectively cancels...

You can also use the sacrament of confession to travel backwards in time, though I have never acquired a high enough reputation to go back as far as a single...

This "Quick Virtue" trick ain't working for me. I'm a local hero in Nurnberg and still going to confession hardly makes a difference. The clock keeps ticking...

I have been away from the game for a while, so my memory is kind of fuzzy. I think that the 100 figure is probably pretty accurate. I have a city where my...

I don't discount that donating to a Church raises virtue. I have seen it work with a party that never did anything more than defeat raubritters and castle...
