Perhaps the skill levels we have could come into play for such events. Set required successes and/or a Threshold Number, and have the ability in skill (Expert, Adept, Novice etc.) change the Threshold Number or the required amount of successes accordingly. This way such events wouldn't have to rely on pure chance.

No. We're not running a tabletop game. 

In a fair face-to-face fight, I'd say Farid and Dax are matched more or less equal. 50/50 is good enough, and everything is fair game as long as Dax doesn't die (or severely disabled).
