the upside of the rolling system is that the person receiving damage has complete control over how they receive damage, how much damage they received, and why they were hit.Â
maybe you got hit by a fault of your own, for example. maybe they were just having a bad day. maybe you got hit but it only managed to dent/scratch your armor. or maybe it's time to go all out and describe in excruciating detail the extreme level of waterworks going on as your blood gushes everywhere.
generally speaking though i usually see all people who consider their characters to be 'fighters' as being roughly comparable. i don't mind being hit by someone whose character is a professional or amateur fighter at all.
this of course depends on mutual respect with the people you're RPing with.
