You're right, I did. Sorry, I thought your problem was more along the lines of "my heroes keep beating up the entire clan fyrd, what can I do *but* restrict them" type of thing. Of course, I don't see why you *wouldn't* want them to beat up a clan fyrd effortlessly (eventually, of course, not as a starting ability level), but that's more a style-of-play question than anything to do with mechanics :-)

And no, let's not get into any sort of "my way is better than yours" discussions, gang. Every-one's style of play is valid. Let's not badmouth the stickpicker campaign any more than we badmouth the demigod campaign. Both have historical precedent in the "source material" - from the stickpicker Lord of the Rings Hobbits or early Once and Future King, to the Demigod Argonauts or Epic of Gilgamesh.
