Maybe you are right. I think that since the rules are so forgiving that many losing a contest isn't that big of a deal anyway.

Starkval's secret let's him ingnore multiple target's penalties on the fyrd. Drogarsi has a similar secret. IMO it is more suitable for target number augments. Heropoint bumps your success to critical so failure is enough for the difficulty dice? and if you fail, then fumble is enough for major victory, which earns you 2x augment. So the secret only makes the effect available for a whole bunch of people. OA devotee with some woad ritual and a HP can have a pretty scary armor.
5W difficulty for ^10 augment 15W affinity. about 56% chance of 2x augment I think that it's about 3/4 for 20 difficulty and ^16...
I don't have a calculator with me, but those figures are fairly accurate.
I wouldn't underestimate target number augments either, but fyrd having a lot tougher armor(or something) than a true dragon, is more awesome.
