in most anolgous RW legal systems (eg Icelandic or Saxon) I think I'm right in saying that you could chose a champion to take your part in a trial by combat (assuming you can find someone) .. and even a clan champion could take out a strppling Humakti... if you have a problem with a powerful Humakti then appeal to the cheif or one of his champions..
