The narrator always has final say on how appropriate an ability is for a specific situation an can always apply an improv modifier. If a character has Dodge missile, this is, of course very appropriate for dodging a missile. If the narrator thinks Dodge is too broad, she may certainly apply a penalty for dodging missiles (or swords & spears, for that matter...)

This has been talked about and I used it for a while but found just using improv modifiers much simpler.
