Character traits, specialization, environmental conditions, and all the other factors that come into play that offer advantages or disadvantages to either combatant then serve to weight these dice rolls accordingly. I also use the d20 spectrum to determine the severity. Like in low light I might give Eva as a duskwight a slight advantage for night vision and hearing. Or after a particularly brutal attack I might weight my next counter negatively (e.g. need a 16 or higher for it to appear to be a success rather than an 8 or higher).
I use the dice, but I don't rely upon them. I let them be a guideline for me to introduce a random element to what would otherwise feel - to me - to be a scripted fight scene.
