Err, many of the points raised have been explicitly about problems thrown up by the cementing rules.

Roderick himself (one of the HW authors) has suggested *changed* rules on this list to deal with some of the problems raised.

The Enormous Gold Block 10W2 was an example I raised to show some of the problems by *variant* rules.

So, there is no such system 'in place'.

A Newbie Narrator will have the basic rule books. Not Roderick's changed rules. None of the advice available from people on this list. If that Newbie Narrator has a powergamer or munchkin player, they are doomed.
