Exaclty. O could see someone throwing a stone across the yard to divert the guar's attention for the second try.
But it doe depend on if you want a simply pass/fail result or a degree of success result. I lean more towards the latter.
Oh, and pretty much any and every opposed skill can be set up with a degree of success. It is just that we tend to gloss over those "boring" tests to get to the "omportant" combat ones.
You could actually work up a debate as a series of Faslk Talk/Persuade/Oratory rolls with "attacks" and "parries" and have it do damage and beat down the opponent's resolve (say equal to POW points).
Would I want to do that all the time, no. But it would be a great bit for when the PCs get captured and have to convince the locals to spare their lives and not throw them to the volcano god.
