Exactly - my experience is that in HW combats are no longer regular
and frequent milestones along the wau but much more likely to be the
dramatic set-pieces. Instead, there is far more scope and
encouragement to use other abilities, relationships and powers. In
what other system could an Issaries trader rout a trollkin warband
with a Goose Honk feat, or an evening's play hinge not on combat or
even magic skills but a Yinkini's ability to seduce a Hag...?
Gosh, what a HW-groupie I am...
