True enough. But we found that after several months that just improvising off of a single abnormally high stat just didn't seem to work. My players were not happy with it and I found it unsatisfying myself. The problem was improve on improv -- particularly if you have a character who wants 2-3 different fighting styles AND gets cauht in positions where he doesn't have his ideal weapons choice -- see the main rules for an example of that and then plug in 'only one combat type' into the example. So I went back to the one in the book... I'm happy. My players are happy. But that's my game, of course.
