Okay, to see if I got your point. You say the player has to include an
ability in his narrative if the respective keyword gives an either-or
choice for that ability?
Makes sense to me, though I guess you'd have to include both abilities
in your narrative for the sake of completeness. After all, a sentence
like "Bruhan is the most promising of young clan warriors, and his
skills with the axe are famed" will certainly give Bruhan Axe 17, but
Sword 17 doesn't seem likely to appear on the character sheet now.
