Unless you've got something really cool to use -- but then you can just give it an augment rather than an edge. Gah. Glorantha FINALLY gets +1 swords.

Or the Fyrdling is just a 'speedbump' in the Dwarf's active life. Ka-runch!

I kinda like extended contests. Without it, Odayla would have lost that arm-wrestling match with Urox last night. And we'd never have seen any of Vinga's cleavage at all.
