If you take +2 to fame roll you take -2 to survival roll. And it's hard to pass without injury (you need to pass survival by 10 or more). This reflects the fact thta whole day of fighting has passed and even skilled characters will get wounded. And it's possible to be reckless and heroic and still wind up without fame and vice versa</blockquote>
