Unless I've missed it too, I think that augmenting of the sort you describe has largely been dispensed with. You can have one if it is significant, new, and tells you something about your character that really adds to play. Otherwise don't fret about it and just get your Sword Attack ability flailing into play.

Perhaps this was a violent reaction to the brain numbing trait whoring from HQ1? It's one of the areas that I address in my 'Your HeroQuest May Vary' article that I have worked up in anticipation of the actual finished version coming out.
