Confusing, but I guess that would do it.
I guess HW is way too abstract for me.
For instance, if you have a beefy weaponthane Strong 5w1, CC 5w1, and you manage to get him to initiate the contest with a crappy ability like spot ambush 6 (default), he only has 6AP, and you can just push him over.
But the figures for animals in the Narrator's book are still way too low. Or do people routinely outrun horses and wrestle mammoths?
