I don't play RPG's, so my comments are just some mumbling to be 
ignored. :)


How about to make it possible for the charater to escape from batle?

If the opponent is superior (ie no chance of wining it right now) the 
character would gain some inteligence points. The earlier the escape 
hapens the more inteligence points one would gain.

It also could be possible to escape pass the opponent. This should fail 
almost all the time, but for example great agility and inteligence 
could make it more probable if the opponent is slow.

If one escapes a matching or weaker opponent, one would loose courage 
points. Due the lack of courage one would gain attack points etc slower 
than when courage is higher.



This kind of system is of course much harder to balance than the simpler 
ones, but I bet this kind of system would gather players if it is 
correctly balanced.
