This system doesn't seem very fair... IC battles aren't even a good form of RP anyways. If you're going to battle, you're almost better off having a set appointment or going over what you want in /tell. Some people just have horrible luck with /random. I don't see how it would hardly be fair for if someone would always roll /1-10 despite being say a rank 50 paladin. (I've seen this luck happen all the damn time.) This system is, or possibly even more sloppy than how people already do IC battle.
I'm not trying to totally discard the system and if people ask for it... I probably would give in. But in my honest opinion, I feel it's best just playing off two characters attacks and if they're decent RPer's (which I assume most people are.) They won't do something stupid like *Throws lightning bolt and shocks you.* They'd instead do *Throws a lightning -in attempt- to shock you.* This way both players can play off each others moves and have more fun. Now I understand if someone always dodged the attacks, that would be an issue... but what's keeping you from shooting them a /tell and saying "hey, mind taking the hit on the next move?" Most RPer's are friendly enough to level with each other and will most likely say "Sure, I'll take the next hit."
Anyways... That's just my personal rant on /random battle.
