So, this was brought up a few times in multiple threads, and I tought it should also have a specific page explaining it.
Now, I assume that most can agree that in the real world, cutting ignores durability. This is due to a relatively large amount of energy in a small are, which is why a mosquito can penatrate the skin of a dinosaur and why someone needs to be 8-B to be fully bullet proof.
Despite it being a thing in the real world, I often find people saying that it cannot do so for the characters unless it's specifically shown to do so (MCU). The problem with that is that I'm pretty sue 90% of fiction does represent it as being able to cut throug people who can take normal hits on that level. There is also the fact that we should go with "works like the real world unless contradicted", not the opposite.
This wouldn't be much of a chang I think, beyond at most making a page for it, I doubt profiles would need to be updated unless the durability ignoration was really high compared to what it should be (Again, MCU, they keep harming people a whole tier above them).
