See below on Palindur dropping.  Personally, I couldn't see very many people
maintaining a honor rating of fair unless they used absolutely no spells, no
dirty tricks, and let people get up if knocked down.  Basically, a goody two
shoes to the extreme.

Any dirty tricks used in the guild fights lower honor rating.  I believe
the three spells you mentioned are considered a 'dirty trick'.  I once had
my mino use head butt 8 times and his honor dropped like a rock.  It may also
be due to the fact that you're in Antar.  I suspect in Ciston guild fights you
can do anything you want and lose no honor.  Most likely, though, it was your
use of blast that lowered your honor rating and made Palindur drop you.

I doubt it.  I don't think Hugh has it implemented where adventuring fights
affect honor rating.  Anything goes outside of the guild fights, but as in
the rulebook, it says dirty tricks are frowned upon in the guild.  Hugh also
added the honor checking or whatever special order for returning treasure
items from adventures.  It was probably added so people could increase their
honor while adventuring.  Everyone I know pretty much laughed at the special
order (who would want to return a Fostil's Pack or Fire Opals they just picked
up on an adventure for some honor points???).

Don't know what you look like so can't really recommend anyone.  Kellen is
a definite one to avoid as your deity magic points goes down to 1 recharge.
