For good or ill.  If the group has stood up to the criminal element of the city and thwarted their plans time and again, any good will or favors the PC with a criminal background were burned long ago.I never do dungeons per se.  Occasionally the adventure takes them to ruins or uninhabited areas but the vast majority of my campaigns are urban.  But the Tiers of Play section in the DMG does assume your sphere of influence broadens widely.  Although I admit I never do world-ending cataclysms simply because I never assume the PCs are going to succeed and I don't want to create a new world from scratch.  But as I said above the important thing is that after a certain point, the reputation of the group and what the PCs have done overshadows their background.</blockquote>
