Hi,

I will convert a shaman from the Hero Wars rules to the HeroQuest rules. I read the guidelines on the Glorantha.com site, but I was wondering if someone could tell me the consequences: in what way is the look and feel of the HQ shamans different from the HW ones?

Some differences I see :

• charms only augment
• fetishes take some of you time and need a relation. So you cannot have a huge collection of them.
• you can use a spirit for a very powerful augment, but have to wait for it to come back afterwards.

For example, I find the indicated time not that long: a few hours or a few days. In many cases I find that not limitating at all. I may use a 'once a session' or 'once per episode' rule, but if anyone as some feedback on it...
