Article description: (description)
This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | A subtrope of Informed Attribute: A character's skill and abilities are frequently mentioned by the cast, but are nonexistent in practice. Though the motivations for allowing this are similar to the motivations for allowing Informed Attributes in general, there is much less of an excuse for it where some audiences are concerned. Believably getting it across that, say, someone is compassionate is difficult stuff; it's the mark of a good author to pull that kind of thing off. Skills and abilities are a much simpler deal: Is someone a master locksmith? Have them pick a lock now and then. Are they combat experts? Have them take the fight to their opponents whenever they can and gain the upper hand. |
