I think those cases should just list it as skill. I think that's a fair default assumption. Hopefully you can imagine other times where we do similar things on the site, so we don't have to get in a side-debate about whether an example I come up with is valid or not.Because it is just a thing.
There's nothing more to add, many characters across fiction have a supernatural ability or exceptional quality that is just "hit good", there's nothing more to elaborate upon. The power itself is the act of hitting good, and 90% of the time, it has absolutely nothing to do with any of the examples you listed, and if they did then we wouldn't even be having this conversation as we'd just list it as those instead. Fiction is fiction basically, sometimes it just be like it do.
Whether it be through skill, supernatural ability, or whatever, sometimes it's just a thing, I'm more tackling the supernatural or wacky front of it atm though based on your arguments regarding it exclusively being a skill thing or an ability it's not.
I don't think it extending to non-combat-applicable things is an issue, if it hits combat applicable things anyway. I don't think that justifies a new page.I'm not Careless, I'm just taking them at face value and trusting what they said. But I'm assuming his ability extends beyond just weapons and the scene just happened to have it be with a weapon, just like the proposal above extends beyond just weapons. And no, I'm not talking "pick up pebble and hit good", given that's an improvised weapon. I've said enough times now that extends to anything and everything, not just weaponry hence the issue.
But for the few cases where it is combat applicable but weapon mastery wouldn't apply (spells) I'd want a combat expertise page.
I didn't bold it, I just ctrl+c ctrl+v'd the first few sentences lol.Then why bring up the title? You bolded the name, not the content.
I think that's silly. It's nigh-zero work to just set up a redirect from weapon mastery/martial arts to the new page.I think everyone would tbh, but I don't think anyone is willing to start it in light of the potential "to much work" pushback.
