Hmmm. It might just be me, but on careful re-reading of the Opposed Test description on p174 the following text seems slightly flawed and a little confusing...
Quote:

In situations where two skill rolls are opposed, both characters roll against their respective skills. The character that achieves the highest degree of success wins the contest. However, if the loser's skill roll was successful, he or she can modify the winner's degree of success, shifting it downward one degree for every degree of success he or she achieves above failure. In the event that both parties achieve the same degree of success, the higher die roll wins the contest, giving the advantage to character's with higher skill ratings.

Now we can all interpret this correctly so that if both characters get the
same level of success then you do NOT downgrade the success of the winner down to a failure. However, it does not say this specifically.
It also doesn't explain what happens if the winner of matched
specials, or
criticals are treated as such... or whether the winner should be treated as having only gained a normal success.
Does anybody else seem the same flaw or am I being overly pedantic?
