I've run several duels in game, including a fighting competition in game that involved almost all the PCs (the barbarian won). The trick is in choosing the right oppoents. The best duels I had were Paladin vs Cleric, Paladin vs Paladin and Paladin vs Master of the Wild Hunt (all the same Pally what can I say). The first two worked really well the back and forth of blows and healing really worked and some timely and dramatic crits helped them close well (the pally won both, just). The last one was his only loss, but the level 17 character vs lvl 21 elite it was planned, I wasn't expecting him to last that long (he eventually took Eternal warrior at Epic, it fit so well) or bloody the Enemy, though several 1's from me led to big powers missing.To sum up, duels work, just try and understand the dynamics of how each character fights. Also consider skill challenges to replace some combats (mages duel for example).</blockquote>
