[QUOTE="takyris, post: 409010, member: 5171"] Actually, that's what I love about this edition. They understand, accept, and embrace the fact that any real fighter is going to have a legitimate understanding of most common weapons and the ability to use them effectively. I just pre-edited out a whole bunch of anecdotal martial arts stuff and learning to use anything I can pick up effectively, and how that's proficiency, and being GOOD with it means weapon focus... because that was really all I wanted to say. If there WERE a skill-check system, I'd want it to stay high-level. I wouldn't want Dagger skill, Battle-Axe skill, and so forth. I'd accept three skills -- Bludgeoning, Slashing, and Piercing -- for fighting. I'd accept extremely open weapon category skills -- Crushing, Bladed, Pointy, and Flexible. But I'd be annoyed with a fighter who could crush legions of foes with an axe but was useless with a broadsword, because I know for a fact that that's not how it works in the real world. -tacky [/QUOTE]
