I think his goal is "don't get into the fight," so Reputation is the active ability. (If the fight has begun in earnest, then this would be less appropriate, and would get a penalty or not be allowed.)

I think so (especially as an Uroxi). He's weighing his combat ability against that reputation. Maybe I'm tougher than him after all? Maybe I'd like to see just how I stack up against that famous fighter?
>Third question : Since the one going first chooses his abilities and

Well, since Uroxi usually bid large, Rep is out of luck. In other cases, people may bid more cautiously, in which case Rep can often go first by bragging outrageously.

The net ability with modifier.
