I'm not quite sure why this isn't "fair." Perhaps it's just a differing conception of what the results should be, but it seems that a fighter with 5w (it is a MASTERY after all) should be able to slam a fighter with a 5 at least 90% of the time and if the fighter with the 5 has a 4.75% chance of actually winning an exchange (and another 4.75% chance of tieing), I'd call that about right.
