I think the common folk would fear a person who had seen many battles and travelled much, and the nobility would view such a person as a possible asset.Adventurers get the job done when others can't. I personally can't understand why anyone would paint adventurers in a negative manner in the campaign world unless they were known plunderers.</blockquote>
