My campaign is right now, and I would like to make the first Heroquest as memorable as possible. In that case, may I recommend the Electrum-selling Secrets of HeroQuesting, a summary of my nearly 40 years of Gloranthan HeroQuesting?

Given that Jeff offered these choices *after* the HQ, that would fit. I think in "Gloranthan Reality" it happens while you are in the Hero World. You leave part of, or an imprint of, your soul behind. Remember that POW points are a RuneQuest mechanic, other game systems may not have a concept of a points pool that a chunk can be split off from. And the player making the choice might parallel the adventurer's realization that they have taken a step into a larger world. 11 hours ago, Shiningbrow said: However, the point** is to empower your presence on the Hero Plane, so mythically logically, you should have to be there to do that...

You could have just seen the Table of Contents somewhere! But, please forgive me for mentioning it at every possible opportunity. 😀 Quote Simon Phipp - Caldmore Chameleon - Wallowing in my elitism since 1982. Many Systems, One Family.
