Very true, and something I'll need to bear in mind.

I agree, I don't think heroquests should ever become the standard fare of the average game session, even for very powerful characters.
I'm gradualy coming closer and closer to Wulf's possition that the best way to go is increasing the advancement costs at higher ability levels.
For example, if w3 is the threshold, perhaps we should make all abilities above w3 increase at the Affinity cost of 3 HP per increment? That would also give characters an incentive for increasing those Affinities they've neglected for so long because increasing them is so expensive.
