Cap Sammitch: Chance isn't a pacifist -- he just doesn't have much love for guns, though he knows how to use 'em. He did a stint in the Swedish Army shortly after high school like all Swedish men do, and had his military training. He's not an overtly aggressive person (like Dirk Bell, for instance) and believes in diplomacy first -- *in reasonable situations only* -- but he's by no means a pacifist.

Only problem is that fighting is a one-sided deal with Chance, due (1) to his enhanced luck which make probability factors work in his favour; and (2) to his other ability which directs all force used against him back to its source. Aggressive actions against Chance are continually doomed to failure -- therefore, an opponent wishing to outwit Chance must do so taking both his luck and his force-redirecting quality into account and outwit him without using force or anything which would place him into a situation in which his luck would kick in to help him.
