I'm completely conflicted on this; on one hand I quite see your point 
(after all, having run the Angel campaign you were in), on the other 
hand, I can't help but think if you're going to allow spitting 
attacks (and I think that was always one of the more profound 
benefits of high end combat skill in RQ) there ought to be some 
similar issue on the defensive end.

So I'm quite torn.
