Yes, just 6. Remember that a single Hero Point can then raise that to 12 (too late for the current adventure, but...)

14 is the "resistance of the world" - it can be used for other things than just magic. Often, though, an item or situation might need narrator intervention - even though the scenario writer didn't note that the tree has a "well rooted" or "heavy" characteristic, your Strong 17 character shouldn't be able to pluck that 50' oak tree out of the ground with a mere 14 resistance!

Russell asked this in a seperate email to HW-Questions (on the Issaries site).
The answer is "yes" - there is no die roll better than "Critical". Adam has a 10/20 chance of rolling a critical, Bill has a 1/20. The question Bill has to ask himself is...does he feel lucky?
