Sorry, I'm having a bad day with Users, and fussing about what's effectively an irrelevant semantic issue caught a nerve.

I'm not sure I follow that, but let it pass, because the next bit looks like it makes this irrelevant,

Well, if you build it it right from the start, then yes, I can see the problem of world-change vanishes.

As just one example, yes. No doubt there are similar things that I'm less familiar with.

This is where I get very confused: you keep talking about "converting" things, sometimes apparently refering to converting bonuses to abilities, sometimes converting HW to HQ, and now you say you don't "convert" anything?

Oh, the general concept of augmenting with abilties probably will, if we can figure out some of the awkward exceptions. I hope it can, it looks like an overall good idea. A concept this generic ought to fit any situation in any universe, somehow.
