That's dodging the question. How do you think 'broad abilities' would help resolve a situation where three players are using more-or-less specific abilities and the fourth is going with a general ability?
More narrowly, what would your group do if something like this came up during a game of "Hero Wars"? Reach for the rules, wish for better ones, or quickly impose a Narrated modifier? (Or something else?)
