I don't have my book with me so apologies.
Doesn't the "opposed-Vigor roll thing" basically make punching someone
pointless (unless you are A LOT stronger than them)? 
If strength = vigor then damage basically = 0.

I plan to dump the vigor roll part of the process. Whatever the attacker
rolls for damage, that's how much wind you take. Someone's really cool
vigor is taken into account in their higher wind.

Has anyone tried this or anything similar?
