Thank you very much for the response!
I really like this idea of turning captured bandit to authority for a reputation boost rather than turning them for a profit through selling of fulfilling a job order at slaver's guild. Add an extra layer of role playing a lawful alignment in addition to good/evil which is pretty lacking in base Strife.
That being said... hope reputation would matter more in future update, since beside Maple's optional recruitment quest it doesn't matter in base Strife, which make the entire system pretty pointless (and way too easy to farm in base Strive by keep beating up bandit who try to bully travelers). Maybe have it tie back to the town upgrade system in someways you planned to work on in the future if you haven't planned this already?
