Started reading HQ:G again and began to wonder if there has been examples anywhere on what the different number of masteries would mean in the setting of Glorantha? For example, what kind of creatures/heroes would have three masteries on their best Abilities, or five? Or the other way around, how many masteries would you think Kallyr Starbrow, for example, would have on her best Ability?
Oh, and as the game scale can differ, let's use the assumption that a cult initiate needs to have her cult rune at 1W and rune lords, what, around 11W?
(I realize that stats for NPCs are not needed and GM can come up with any kind of number depending on the situation in the game anyway, but just for the sake of discussion.)
