Ya know, I was ready to write up a big paragraph-by-paragraph explanation of how I thought you were wrong, but really, it ain't worth it.

I think you're wrong and the rules work just fine for the way *I* want to play - reduced chance of "death" and all. And just because I happen to like the rules the way they are is not indicative that they are that way *because* of me - take a look at the credits for HW and HQ. We all shared the same vision of the die mechanism.

BTW, 1/400 is the chance for a specific hero to die. 1/200 is for *a* hero to die.
(1/10 that the first roll will be a critical *or* a fumble; 1/20 that the second die will be the opposite.)
(Simple contest of two opponents with matched masteries, of course.)
