So 3 rolls of 1 1 and 2 would leave Joe Generic feeling a little worse for wear but still alive, along with almost everyone else in the area. Did this make me stop playing Top Secret S/I? No, it just made it so that I realized that this could have been represented by the explosive going off and not the actual fissionable material....Healing Surges are an example of a person, say a cop, getting beat up by a thug, but still having enough stamina and reserves to take the thug down, hold him there and handcuff him, even when the cop has a broken nose, three cracked ribs and a dislocated shoulder.</blockquote>
