It is rediculous to read a note from the leader of Battle saying that your skill in X has to be 95% and 100% in Z. This is a sad day for roleplaying. All this is saying is that he and/or his veterens are too lazy or stupid to determine your skill without knowing the numbers behind the game. If someone can win fights based on good tactics, preperation, dirty tricks, whatever it should be the basis on which they are judged. No cabal leader should ever even ellude to %s. Now, if the master leader sees you lose concentration on your slow spell all the time (or even once if he wants) at hero, he can kick you out. If the battle leader sees you getting your ass handed to you, or you can't connect with a backhand, he can kick you out (or not induct you), but he has to SEE it. If it is too much work to discern the fighting abilities of your applicants, then find someone who can.
