And the problem with them using the default value of 6 is what?

These are not ordinary HW fetishes and thus it would be silly trying to infer the properties of HW fetishes based on these examples. The rules are fairly straightforward about the what an embodied fetish is so rather than vary its meaning to acccomodate myriad gloranthan practices, it would be far simpler to stipulate that a tradition can create a special type of fetish with the desired properties.
