For the record, Rob's example is very much like what would have happened in
the games in which I'm involved as a player or narrator. His group and the
ones I play in seem to have similar community standards on the issues of
"primary ability breadth" and "augmenting breadth." Not precisely the same,
but not enough to quibble about. That is, me and my players would have no
problem playing with Rob and his.
