Well you wouldn't normally include comparitives in abilities. There was
certainly a footnote in HQ1 explaining why not, and I think there was one in
the HQ2 draft as well, not that I have either near me.
But... If the player knight has genuinely become a better swordsman than Lancelot then that should be a major focus of the campaign and so I'd have no problem with this happening. If it had only come about because of oversight and augmentation frenzy then that would be a bit pathetic, I've no problem with HQ2 killing that game off.
Years ago my character fought Sir Gawaine to a standstill. Which was largely due to lucky inspiration rolls, but ultimately because the system made that possible. Neither an ability of 'Better than all knights except Lancelot 10W4' or a footnote 'Gawaine is the second greatest knight in Camelot and will beat anyone save Lancelot' would have enhanced that session.
