That's the sort of thing that's ripe for houseruling to-taste, frankly, but could lead to additional complication for a rule set for groups that don't really want that crunch. For example, one might houserule that simply wielding a weapon (vs fists) is about enough distinction up to 33%. I mean, at that level there's no finesse, no art, it's just the basics of swinging something at a target that doesn't want to be hit. From 34-66%% that skill might perhaps be narrowed to a specific family of weapons - 1h swords, 2h blunt, etc. From 67%+ that skill might be narrowed further to a specific type of weapon - 1h gladius, or 2h long spear. Thus if you were 76% in 2h greatsword and picked up a 2h katana, being of the same family, that katana skill would start at 67%. If you knew no other weapons and picked up a 1h mace, you'd be at 33% to start instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One Melee skill with specialties per weapon, up to 30% would be sufficient to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
