Yup, saw that one already xP as [@ZB1996] says though, that's only for the most skilled people - and unfortunately for me, I doubt Aulus (talented though he is!) is anywhere near that.

Maybe a '10-Tier' System that goes from -10 up to 10 would work? The tiers in the reference sheet can be incorporated by placing them from Tier 5 to Tier 10 respectively (Tier 10 being the highest).

I would obviously opt for not having any kind of fixed tier-system, but as it's already in place, might as well build on it properly ^^'

To be honest, and this is me putting in my arena experience and understanding mind you, a tier isn't always going to determine who wins. One thing you need to recall and keep in mind is that power and skill is only one part of the whole fight. There's numerous other factors you need to consider from scenery around you, the condition of your foe, and how well the chess match of blades or whatever actually goes story wise. Mastery doesn't mean you can't learn from a novice a new trick after all.
