Well, I understand that about combat.  What has
torqued me was the rate at which an Alchemist had
to rebuild his lab when doing even the most routine
work.  Or subtracting a D6 when using your Alert-
ness talent, etc.  In my opinion, that is where this
method really shines.

Applying this method to combat makes the defend
option less defensive and reduces the scariness of 
the unarmed combat talents.  For combat, I think I
would use the original H3 system I proposed instead
of this interpolating scheme.

Thanks, that means a lot coming from you.
