  Every 10% seems a bit much. Why not expand on something Oliver posted
  (months) before the latest draft, that for some reason didn't make the cut
  (hey Carl, any reason why this didn't make it?). He proposed that if a
  fighter takes a -20% to their skill they can add +1 to the damage (I think
  this is right). This makes sense to me; you lose 4% from special and 1%
  from crit chance for a lesser benefit. Make it only something weapons
  masters (90%+ skill) can do, and add in Graeme's options (change hit loc,
  reduce SR) and maybe some others (each -20% reduces chance to parry by 10%,
  perhaps) and the high skill mavens are happy.
