Personally I've only just come into situations where the concept of being anything *but* a concentrated theist is relevant, so don't feel I have anything useful to say.

Which is why I'm reluctant to change anything until I'm very sure it's broken.

But of course, that's Glorantha. The HQ rules can be used in any universe, and if the whole concept doesn't fit your chosen universe, dropping it may well make sense.
