In any normal sense, "they" don't. Pavis was a one-off freak, a product of one (or more) of the weird experimental empires of the Second Age. He is the only known "half-elf" of Glorantha.

They can't, normally.

Nope. Like I said, there's only been one (as far as we know). No call for rules. Especially not D&D crossover rules.

As you would expect: individual Arkati worshippers possess greater personal power, hence their secret societies are able to get by with fewer worshippers than (say) the Orlanthi barbarians might require.
Or was that not what you meant?
