In a more "gamey" section of my fantasy world I've been running things with "How good an impression did you make with the guards".

If the PCs offend the guards in any way (social disadvantges or their own actions etc) the guards tend to exclude the character(s) in question from the town/city. There are no fixed societal rules either way, the decision is left to the guards for good or ill.

Heros with a good reputation can swagger about armed to the teeth but shadey types get harassed by the powers that be. Given that in most cases the communities are small enough that word about a particular guard's decision will get about.
