OK, but what about cases where the player does things in play that can't be vetoed. For example, he takes an axe and shield and practices axe and shield fighting. Can he then at the end of the session claim increase in close combat, or gain the axe & shield fighting speciality at related cost (I'd say no). I don't think that simply doing something in play means the same as "related to session". Not a big deal though, each narrator should make his own judgement.
