Hi
Does the detail here actually affect a game? We had a (albeit
temporary leader of Whitewall) and although the political set up
there I decided on was not ring based per se, you can in game gloss
over the lack of feats or whatever can't you? If a player who
controls an Issaries character gets voted Chief FREX then why not?
as the in game politics are bound to be the focus of play rather
than what magic they have. YGWV, MGF and all that.
Having said that FWIW I think it is a valid point that folk do
appear inferior without the *right* stock of magic from a purley
gloranthan scholar perspective.
