RAW, there are at least 3 ways I can think of:
- Giving POW to a wyter.
- Giving POW to a god (and taking RP in exchange).
- Giving POW to an enchant in progress.
This is exactly what I described: Few donors and few buyers, but both exist.
Yes, and if you don't play HQ, nor 13G,it is the only one that matters for you.
Yes. I never bothered buying anything for HW, and I don't know anything about 13G but the Glorantha I felt from reading Herowars is completely different from the one I felt reading RQ (both 2 and 3).
Agreed on both.
I don't feel his extrapolations are crazy. This is how he understand the rules and how they describe the world functions. So they matters. My readings are not the same as his, but they also modify the way I perceive Glorantha and how it works.
It is not worth 2000L because nobody would accept to sell more than 1 POW, especially if that amounts to 5 years of income.
