Yes, but I'm only facing a _marginal_ failure rather than something
worse. When you're low on AP, I notice a lot of heroes do it. Ditto
for when they make those big-bid enhancements.
I notice it really happens when they face/could make a transfer or
duing simple contests that are critical to the character.
