Not sure what you're saying. My idea is exactly the same as yours,
except I roll low and use the degree of success, you roll high and
use the rolled number. Or are you saying you have to roll the numeric
ability (without masteries)? That would be unfair on a 2W2 ability,
against say a 17 ability).
Of course, you may just be commenting on the entire idea of flexible
augments, in which case I agree, there will be higher numbers
cancelling out, but still there should be a chance for the
'invisible' resistance to win with either of our systems.
