Hey all those of you who have looked at the "A Game of Thrones" d20 game know about its excellent Reputation and Influence rules. I have transplanted those with some tweaks to my Aquerra game and find them very helpful and adds the kind of political flavor I am looking for.
My problem is that as I am creating a ton of NPCs in preparation for my "Second Son of a Second Son" campaign I am running out of steam in making names for these repuations, and find using the same kind of descriptors over and over. And while things like hps, and ability scores and skills can wait until actually needed to be detailed, reputation being what it is, I need to create them for NPCs the PCs might have heard of right from the beginning of the game - plus part of the point for me of using the rep system at all is having shorthand reference for how NPCs are seen in the network of folks they run in (as this upcoming game revolves around the PCs as young petty nobles they will have met and heard of lots of people).
So anyway, what I am asking for are a list of possible reputations - just generic descriptors I can tweak or use whole-cloth to people that they would fit even if I had not thought of the words yet. Or if people know where such a thing already exists online that would be helpful, too.
For those of you that don't know, reputations are noted by a descriptor and a modifier. So someone might be Greedy +2 .
The modifiers don't matter for the list as that is determined by class levels/feats, but it is the descriptors I need.
Here are the examples I gave my players as guidelines for their own reputations:
Thanks in advance for any help. . .
