In a fist fight, the stronger, tougher, faster combatant should usually win, but a well-placed feint or astonishing feat of perserverence could come into play every now and then. Likewise, in a courtroom, the smartest, most eloquent, most perceptive advocate should usually prevail, but in some cases, physicality might come into play.Certainly, there is room to insert some non class-based mechanics to expand the uses of ability scores.</blockquote>
