I can say with all honesty that I've seen the tension such die rolls create in my games, complete with sighs of relief when they succeed (and screams of agony when they fail). Therefore, since the games I have had experience with provide evidence of the fact that the mechanic works as intended, I can safely say that your absolute statement of fact, is, on the face of it, false. To repeat an earlier arguement: If one concedes that a 1 in 40 chance of your character dying as the result of a dice roll going against them is acceptable then one must also concede that what we are left with is an arguement about acceptable odds. Which is entirely subjective.</blockquote>
