This doesn't stop the townfolk from turning to them in their hour of need - the heroes may even be honored from time to time, and develop a local reputation for being a "good guy," but may have a completely different reputation somewhere else ("Them's the no-goods who killed the ol' wizard!" - not knowing that the "ol' wizard" was preparing to summon a demon that would eat all of the villagers...).The analogy of a rock star works pretty well, too: some adventurers (paladins, bards and clerics) are pop stars - fun, non-threatening - while others (druids, rangers, rogues) are alternative artists - quirky, a bit off-putting - and others are death-metal bat-head-biters who destroy hotel rooms and deflower your daughter (fighters and barbarians).Of course, that's EXACTLY how the villagers of Bree saw the Rangers in LOTR...</blockquote>
