	I think that is interesting.
	I'd rather go with penalties to skill, though. It sort of has 
a similar effect a lot of the time, but it gets back to the high 
level combat being boring issue.
	If it comparison based, then two equallty skilled opponents 
still have a pretty boring time.
	If it is based on penalties to roll, then two skilled 
opponents (say, 150%) effectively have a nice skill buffer before 
they lower their chance that gives them freedom to try some 
interesting combat options, which potentially makes combat 
interesting.
	Cheers
