generally I agree, but:
I think you (some of you) are reducing combat and
challenge to a wargame challenge.
This is a RPG.
Even Harrek 10W6 could be embarassingly beaten up
by....
his elderly mother! (provided he has one)
Suppose that he meets a trickster with CC 14, one who knows exactly how Harrek's mother looks like and cheats the Rathori effectively, looking as his mother.
IMG Harrek would be severely slapped (not killed because mothers don't kill their children).
Maybe I should write a tale about this event...
