'hand to hand' tells us very little, but 'Jordaine has received very little formal training and his close combat largely just revolves around common brawling and use of natural agility' gives us a much more clear idea of how this character fights. On the other hand if he had no real capability or training in hand to hand the skill wouldn't necessarily need to be listed. I would consider anything listed as skill to be there by virtue of having superior capability than what the average person possesses. <br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>The average person doesn't know martial arts? or karate? or boxing? the average person isn't smart?<br/><br/>The point of a skill is to show what abilities you have that can contribute towards the field you are going into. Even the most basic of fighting skills if you're working to become an x-men is considered a skill.
