I have had only a short look over your proposal (ever played GURPS?	;-)
and cannot commend about the single ideas and effects, but the whole idea just
hits me fully!

CF was always *nice*, i though, but i never realy played it - *exactly* your
idea could be something that enhanced CF to a more Roleplaying-like game. You do
not bash some stats against each other until one or the other dies, but have the
possibility to realy *act* within the game-world!

I realy love it!

Problem maybe beeing, that this kind of combat needs alot of more intelligence
for the computer-creatures ...
Otherwise, you could use tactics that are much too efficient against them.

	Thanx for your mail, and
	Byebye,
