The problem is that scale does not denote suitability for receiving a message. Should the player currently inhabiting the body of a flea not receive the mesage while the troll he's biting will receive the message? I don't see that scale offers a value here. >Are there any glaring problems with that?

Will have ot go back and re-read those. ;) Marian asked a similar question.
