By the same logic you'd need "Fly" at 10www to get a distance of, say, 100 metres or reach a speed of 10 mph. You'd need "Ignite fires" at 10www to singe a damp tree. You'd need "Terrifying howl" at 10www to scare a troll. Rather un-epic, i'd say.

If you need to be near-divine to do even slightly difficult stuff then Glorantha has indeed seriously changed.

If you heroquest enough to get your "Running" ability up to 10www (almost divine levels) you damn well should be able to outrun a speeding arrow.
