FWIW, I officially endorse replacing all ST rolls with HT rolls for tasks that bring ST to bear, and using ST effects such as BL and damage to assess the results of success. ST has the annoying trait of being extrinsic where DX, IQ, and HT are intrinsic, and thus seems like a bizarre score to roll against – a bit like rolling against Basic Move, really. I do relent in situations where it's clearly ST vs. ST, but even there I have to wonder if comparing thrust damage or something wouldn't be more sensible. Interestingly, CP are found from thrust . . .
