No cement. No gain. Just like in books and shows, things tend to get left or lost or forgotten. You have to pay the HP to make them 'important'

This is a very good idea. Should be done more often by heroes.

I believe it also says you can convert the value of the items into wealth and then cement 1/10 of that onto your permanent wealth category for 1 HP. If they are magical or somehow 'funky' items, they have to be cemented to say. If they are just things like a chain shirt or the like, they do not _require_ being cemented.

Learning to say 'yes' or sure' seems to be the hardest thing about narrating Hero Wars. Option 2 loses the hero the item. It lets them buy the trait up for an 'in game' cost. And sometimes, its VERY hard to bring one's various relationships into the game. Giving gifts is very, very Orlanthi and should be rewarded. Generosity, afterall, is a kingly virtue.
