Well, how do you think Beat-Pot Aelwrin got so powerful? Cooking *is* the most powerful ability around.

Seriously, if the GM feels a certain ability is indeed appropriate in a given situation then the player can use it. For me, this is a virtue of the HW rules since it is flexible. For others it may be flaw since it lacks structure.

Your point is valid; HW as a game depends a lot on the GM and the players. But what game doesn't?
