Okay, I'll amend that - When you are up against something without the native
ability, or so incapacitated that your narrator wonders these sorts of
things ;-).
Anyway, my ultimate point is that 40 is the likely "Can't Fail" breakpoint,
however it gets translated into wibbles (as Nick would say).
Everything else I've written on the subject is an exercise in Theoretical
Rules. Please, Jane and others, playtest it and let me know how it works.
