I don't recall saying that, and if I did I was wrong!
I thought what I said was that I wouldn't interpret "Armour of Woad" as "Pickle of Invulnerability", or possibly that I couldn't see "Chainmail" as being a feat related to Bagog's movement affinity - Doesn't mean you can't use them if you are comfortable with them though.

It would be easier to do this if you didn't keep saying "Hero Wars doesnt define X, but RQ did, so HW is wrong and should have included the RQ descriptions so every one knew what they were talking about"

Providing mechanics for Sunset Leap or a Thunderstone can only be to do with mechanics. If we say that a Thunderstone is a piece of stone imbued with the power of Thunder, that tells you what it is. It doesn't tell you how you can use it in a game, of course (but that would be mechanics)

Good. We must all be happy then!
