(Stupid HTML tags) Check the example on page 100 where Jane can't jump the spindly little tree because it has a spirit within. I would suspect that Kero Fin still has a horking big resistance to being jumped. It's not a mundane mountain (if Glorantha even has such a beast).
Hmm, there's a thought. Any time you don't want a magic feat to only face a resistance of 14 you just say the opposing force has a spirit, etc. within that oddly enough just might have the same resistance as its mundane height, etc. would account for. Or worse if the story calls for it.
Hmmm, instead of the feat replacing the mundane ability you could just add the two together to get a new ability. So my Jump 17 and Jump Mountain feat of 17 together give me a Jump Magical Mountain 14W. That'd make the Jump ability better than just an augment would without turning it into people jumping across Genertela. (My feat is called Jump Really Long Distances right? And Genert's dead right? So I jump from Kralorela to Sog City. Resistance 14. Easy peasey).
Nah, too different than the rules say. That'd have to be a house rule wouldn't it. And only for people who had access to feats as full abilties. Hmm, oh never mind.
