This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

I've always held the stats to do the following

Strength - brawn, resilience, brawling/grappling
Warfare - Weapons, trained fighting, tactics
Psyche - Magic, social manipulation, intellect
Endurance - healing, willpower, stamina

with the following addendum (which I nicked from Wushu) if a player wants to take Strength to a Warfare fight then as long as they explain how/roleplay it, I let it fly.

I did it myself with a top ranked Strength character who had a sword but didn't bother with fencing and fancy moves, just slashed and hacked at everything in his path until it fell down.  

Or for another example; Brand vs Benedict.  (Psyche vs Warfare) Brand tells Benedict exactly what he knows will thoroughly demoralise him during the fight.  Brand wins.

my 2p.
