I have a mixed alignment party finishing up chapter 5. Rep is now 16. I can only afford to increase rep by one more point lest I lose Shar-Teel and Xzar.
I'm about to complete Scar's sewer crawl quest (no rep increase per Dudleyville), and then it's on the the Iron Throne, and Eltan will disptach the party to Candlekeep (again no rep increase, per Dudleyville).
Best I can tell, the next rep altering situation is the return to BG city with rep lowered. So it seems I won't risk losing my evil NPCs if I proceed with the plot without doing anything further to lower rep. Is this an accurate assessment?
On a side note, I noticed that Phandalyn, the paladin who goes hostile at any evil character at an inn in Baldur's Gate SW, was no longer there after completing the Seven Suns/Merchant's League quest. I guess if I needed to I could CLUA him. But that encounter drops rep from where the party is now to 9, and then the rep loss from the return to Candlekeep would place rep a little lower than I would like anyway. In any event, does Phandalyn only appear for a certain amount of time?
