re-[Rq-rules] Introduction

[Lance Dyas]

If you have to succeed by an amount greater than the attack success 
(sounds like the kind of rule he
is referring to) then combat at higher levels "against challenging 
adversaries" the combat would
flow like it was between two low level combatants.

Not particularly imbalanced either... it is still tougher fighting 
against two opponents than one... etc.
its just not really much different fighting one after the other than two 
at one time... And depending
on what genre you are looking at this may be your target.... In some 
genres unless the adversaries
know how to team fight using the same style and are practiced together 
even people on the same
side commonly interfere rather than improve each others chances.

The value of team fighting skill might just be a progression of reduced 
chances
