    Actually, I do tend to play that reputation does have some (minor) effect,
    not on RP directly, but on bloodline score. I give my PC's small (1-3
    point) bonuses for substantial defeats of hereditary enemies and
    awnsheighlein. I explain it as an effect of Renown--they are increasingly
    being seen as a person who matters, a person to be respected and
    considered as an important factor in plans. However, it's just a home
    rule.

    Why is it then that a regent can loose RP (not earn less!) when he does
    not react adequately to problems in his realms?

    Godd Idea. Needs maybe a little more fleshing out.
    But the GM should be careful in using this, because the players can try to
    earn some real money with this kind of behaviour. ;-)
