Yes but...

All these effects are jumbled in together. If they were instantaneous (i.e. used the Simple Resolution Table, one attempt, one roll) and no APs then this would work. But either the wimp is using the APs from his inappropriate (but better) non-combat skill or he is using his good skill with his lower (combat) APs. Or am I missing something again?

I don't like the Action Points mechanic. Perhaps I should put that into my sig.
