Like this idea. Full of flavour.Thought for Samarsi Cultural Trait option:
Every Weapon a Tool
Choose a weapon with which you are proficient. Whenever you use this weapon as part of a skill check, you gain an Expertise Dice, subject to Narrator Approval.
Someone who picks a Quarterstaff could use it in Acrobatics for balance, or Athletics to pole vault. Or to search for traps with Investigation. Or use a Longbow for Survival checks to hunt. Or a Longsword on a Survival check to start a fire. You get the idea.
If your weapon is useful for that task, you get an expertise die.
A dagger to aid in climbing. A spear for balance.
Even a shield to slide down castle steps whilst shooting arrows...oh, wait!
