The opposite of a plethora of special rules is a small set of universally applicable rules. How about these:

  1. An ability has a name and a rating.
  2. In game world terms, abilities do the things their names suggest.
  3. Abilities are distinguished only by their names and ratings.
  4. Abilities with similar names do similar things, reflected by them having overlapping areas of applicability.
  5. The degree of applicability of an ability in a situation is represented by an improvisational penalty or bonus.
