Create new attack type for Opposed Rolls


I would like to offer a suggestion for adding, among the the other available attack selections (Arcane, Melee, Thrown, etc.) one for Opposed Rolls. That might get tricky, I suppose, but at the least I might suggest the most common ones of Opposed Smarts or Opposed Spirit checks might be really nice to have. I guess that don't commonly cause damage in many cases, mind you (although something like a raise on an Intimidation or Taunt check could cause a Shaken state) but there are definitely some Powers, particularly in the SPC2, which are full blown attacks. Telekinesis, for example, is an opposed Spirit roll rather then Melee -v- Parry or Ranged -v- TN 4, for example, where failure will cause damage. Not sure if there are just too many use cases to make something like this feasible, though (maybe it would need to be a nested menu where you select "Opposed Roll" as the type and then a new menu for the type of roll, or even the Trait to use, picked from Attributes or Skills, followed by what it's opposed by to cover all of the possibilities...)

Is this now covered with the Fast Test extension?
