Combat- Why not contests of skills?

I guess you are right... And it only goes higher than 15 for HUGE skill difference, like 15 - 20. Which makes sense like you said.

I find it curious that the balance is not in a single contest, but in the combat as a whole. Defending is easier, even if your skill is 4 levels higher (46%). But when you defend, its a LOT easier, with the enemy's best shot having 13% chance of hiting.
