Plainly Richards definition of "Ordinary" is somewhat different to mine.

Elite Humakti are NEVER ordinary and are always going to be a problem for any character who doesn't have three or more masteries. Only folk like
Harrek, Jar-eel and Cragspider or a Dragon or two are going to treat such=  =

a force as ordinary. Any leader who has a guard of 40 Humakti is in fact=

Prince Salinarg followed by the household of Death.

Ordinary in HW is guys who don't matter to the story. =
