Huh? I'm sorry but it doesn't follow.
I, the GM, will know what they can do. It's the players that get to enjoy the mystery and menace. Of course my gamers won't see the stats of Kallyr Starbrow, for instance.
If the want to know how tough she is, the can watch her fight and form their own opinion. Better watch her fight somebody else, though.

As I said, it has worked excellently for the Shadow World, and I can't see why it would be a bad idea for Glorantha. I know I will need such stats for my game.
