I'm a little disconcerted by this... Not the amount, I've had that and "worse" in my previous game. But the apparent implication that HPs are a "game world thing" even in a vague sense is troubling. Do all "skilled HQers" have 16HP, rather than having HQ-related abilities per se? Is this is the case, then a) NPC HQers are going to be all sorts of fun to meet, and b) the HQ rules are broke (as well as being largely non-existant).
What's the concensus on this? Are HPs a purely Narrative thing? An entirely game-world thing? Or some squishy combination of the two?
