I think there should be a parrying function added to weapons. If you strike an opponent as they strike you, the person with the higher weapon skill will cause the person with the lower skill to stagger, whilst none take damage. The larger the difference in skill level, the more the loser is staggered. If the gap between levels is low (1-10 levels apart) there is no stagger for both people. If the gap between levels is incredibly high (70+ levels apart) the loser is disarmed instead of  staggered.
