I don't see any problem....I always treated watchers like
dog-brains....fully-capable, just not able to hold more than one thought.
They can fight with the best....just don't expect stylish combat, more brute
force (ah, but such admirable singlemindedness)

Besides, the force = 1/2 successes tends to keep them from being too strong
anyway.
