That's not an approach I personally enjoy. What is the difference then between starting a character with a named sword Skull Cleaver - 13, and then proceeding to put heropoints into raising that number? If somebody finds Balastor's Axe it should make a huge difference.

I would replace "Glorantha" with "Hero Quest" in that sentence, and even then I would treat it with caution.
