1. Something similar to what's on pp. 38 & 39 of HW1, but with sensicle TNs, not nonsensical ones.
2. Half a page of explanation about how to add Wealth X to Wealth Y.
3. Elsewhere, _simple_ rules for how to add Ability A to Ability B without causing pouting expressions on semi-simulationists faces, and without disturbing the narrativists' enjoyment of the game.

There is no reason why HW2 shouldn't be a _mathematically coherent_ narrativist RPG.

None.

No.

The _Idea_ of the Wealth Ability is _great_.

The current _version_ of the Wealth ability is broken.
