My take is that I like to think of "reputation" or "rapport" as a stat that grows when you do notable or heroic deeds. The PCs with low reputation should have the option to improve it through gameplay and role playing instead of heaving it set in stone. It should feel dynamic and account for different factions and groups like maybe the mage guild specifically hates the party summoner for engaging in magic they do not approve of, or the party clerk is mistrusted by the followers of the war god because she worships a god of peace and honor or some such.
