That's a possibility, but it removes a lot of player interaction with the rules, because they're no longer rolling.

I was thinking that maybe averaged results, based on Skill-10, and then having a single roll per massed attack with the margin of success shifting the number of hits by a percentage. The larger the number of attacks, the smaller the percentage shift.
