The problem with this is that:

1) We obviously can't let you distend downwards, since it would lead to wealthy high-level people pummeling lower-level people.

2) As a consequence of #1, if I'm just below your rank, I can do something to enter your range suddenly, but you can't do something to enter my range suddenly. This opens up a whole balance can of worms.

Finally, I just don't see PK ranges as something shopkeepers could influence.
