in the game, you're either chopping wood, or you're breaking skulls.

But in reality, there may be a great skill in using an axe as a weapon and even greater skill in using it as a tool, but you're body is still developing the abiltity to wield said tool/weapon.

So regardless what you're hitting, just the fact you are wielding the same thing that is either a weapon or a tool should improve something that crosses both skill sets.

well there's a skill for all weapons and tools for collecting resources, technically then anything you do could elevate the skill to another skill if it's based off overall strength and technique on lifting and swinging. It just sounds like your but hurt which unfortunately is going to happen alot in this game
