So you're saying that Westley wins by using his Noble stimulus (True love) to flip-flop his fencing rolls?  (Inigo has revenge as either his noble or rage stimuli, or both... in the latter case he'd likely win if both Westley and he faced off w/Buttercup in danger and Rugen protected by Westley)

Now I have ideas about a Bibliomancer imposing the rules of some literary reality (eg, PB or the Three Musketeers, though doing so with comic books or Plato's Timaeus would be interesting) onto a limited space, about the size of a house.  Likely costing a major charge and/or lasting a limited time (rather long for a major, shorter for less).  Suddenly heroes act heroically and fence amazingly, and receive bonuses when doing so, but when acting normally they receive penalties.  Then reverse the whole process, and have them come crashing back to reality.
