Hey I thought that it was in RuneQuest where the rules don't apply for great heroes and such.

I'd have to check that one, but as I recall it, it was something about the secrets of petty gods etc. Seven Winds Flight is a secret. It only works as an affinity.

I thought that only devotees can learn the secret. So normal orlanthi who are only iniatates of Vanganth have to improvise those feats. Logigally for the secret to be of any use there must be penalties for improvising those feats that are mentioned in the secret from the flying affinity.

It is specifically said in the examples for difficulties that jumping at the top of an 10 feet tall tree has a difficulty of 10W3. I admit that its really 3,3 meters, but jumping sure isn't easy!
I don't know who would "play by the book" in these cases, I know that I certainly wouldn't, but I still think that this is fun.
