<< This might be a good way to do it, I must say. You would have to be  fairly fast on your narrator feet to decide what's 'inappropriate'  though, and be very sure what could and could not be done by mundane  attacks. A sword won't CUT, but could you bash it insensible with head  blows? The effects would be more than usually dependant on the players  descriptions of actions. It depends exactly how (in)vulnerable your  weres are...>>

I agree, and think it is more of a Glorantha question, rather than a HW rules one. Just how 'invulnerable' are they to mundane weapons? Does a fall from the top of a cliff onto hard ground hurt? If it does then why would a fall onto pointy sticks not hurt? If that hurts, why not a pointy stick moving quickly in the 'inside the werewolf' direction? I don't recall blunt weapons being exempt from the werewolf invulnerability, for example. I always thought that it made them a bit tough and never used them as a RQ GM.
