Not that I have the faintest idea how L5R works, this shouldn't be a
problem so long as
a) Glory is increased (& decreased) by Narrator decision, NOT by HP
expendature (so the Narrator decides how high it can ever get). You
might want to allow some 'enhancement' by bribing Bards, etc...
b) The Narrator applies plenty of Improvisation Modifiers ("I augment
my Close Combat by yelling out my lineage and achievements!" - "They
yell back 'Who? Sorry, were strangers round here!'")
As a matter of fact, I was thinking that a similar 'Fame' Ability might be universally useful in HW. Heros should be famous, after all!
