Intuitively, I want "better equipped to win" to include both static factors (the stats recorded on character sheets) and dynamic factors (the ever-changing context of the story). Maybe Bethania's innate resistance to seduction can be designated by whatever's on the character sheet, but the fact that Aquilo initiated this conflict in public in front of the court isn't.
It's like if we were having a foot race. Your "exerting yourself" might be higher than mine, but if you're wearing plate armour and currently chained to a water buffalo, then maybe you don't have the advantage after all. I don't normally expect to modify characters' stats for transient conditions like "chained to a water buffalo".
But it could be I'm just trained to expect that stuff, and you don't really need it. I'll play the game and find out.
This makes colin go "that was me"
