Absolutely Ridiculous (TDD problem)

I thought I'd spice up my game by taking the evil path in TDD, so I chose to be an Anti-Paladin. So anyway, I get to the government district and do the little scenario between Jan and Trax. I Refuse to cooperate and soon a fight breaks out and the party loses 4 reputation points. I was at level 12, and yet I still lost my paladin status. Now come one, how am I supposed to be the lowest of low when my reputation is required to be above ^? It's absoluetly ridiculous. Another odd thing I noticed was that whenever I lost reputation points prior to that, I'd gain them right back. Weird bug or what?

It is unfortunately hardcoded that any paladin will fall when their reputation drops too low. Having said that, however, I thought TDD was supposed to work around this by preventing the reputation from dropping low enough.

From what Mangle Me Elmo says, it sounds like the code checks if REP = x then set REP = X + 1. If you lose 4 points at a time that will bypass the check. Just a guess...

It may be something like that, I don't know. It might be worth reporting on the TDD bugs forum.
