P'Tulla will mainly be an expert swordswoman, with some minor points being used for her archery and horsebackriding skills. Yet the idea is for both characters to be more or less equally good with the sword, perhaps even Haidar being a superior swordsman to P'Tulla. How can you make that work with a stats system?
