Now, what is all this talking about "keeping" POW at 13 or 18 ??? I always wonder why all of the NPCs in every supplement (specially Dorastor, he he) have huge POWs, and why are there so many shamans with huge POWs (I've heard about POW 50 in this list) AND with huge-POWed fetches.
The answer I came up with is that "there is always a 05% chance of success". Or else it would be impossible for a PC to become as powerful as those nasty enemies created by Greg, Sandy, etc. etc.
IF there really is a maximum limit, all the Gloranthan shamans would have fetches with ridiculous POW. A lucky shaman would sacrifice 17 of his 18 POW to his fetch and spend the next season Disrupting birds to get POW rolls (game mechanics... *sigh*)
If I'm wrong, could someone explain me how a NPC priest can get more than 20 POW? If I'm right (05% chance ALWAYS), a priest would think twice before keeping his POW down to get easier POW rolls: this way he will never become a high-POW (strong aura, many MP, etc.) character, and a powerful servant to his/her God.
