[Glorantha] Helering Bodies

[Greg Stafford]

>> Question from a player of a Heler worshiper.
>>
>> Q: Do/Can Heler worshipers physically change sex?

No, not normally.
Possible, but then, almost anything is *possible.*

>> How difficult is it if possible.

Majorly difficult. As Donald O Said:

> I'd make it a major HQ at the very least to affect their physical
> body. If the quest went wrong they could end up with both sets of
> sexual organs or neither.

>> How other sex do they get?
>> Enough to fool Babester Gori? or Yelmalion Prigs?
>
> If they actually did it, completely. I don't think this is common
> though. The cult is much more about men acting socially as women
> and women acting socially as men.

Again, Donald is right on.

>> It is a major shapeshift that would likely require a Heroquest to
>> complete.
>> The character would return of the different sex, similar to, say,
>> some Grazer Tribe Shamans, who change sex upon becoming.
>
> Do they? I thought most shamans were of ambiguous sexuality, not
> that they physically changed sex.

Correct. IN fact, the ambiguity could be called a different gender altogether.
