So basically, using Marshal fiat to advance the storyline
with characters suffering the consequences...

Still doesn't work for me...

Marshal: "So a bit time passed, and yer all a bit more
experienced.  James, The good news is that yer boy is no
longer known around these parts as, "The Kid!"  The bad
news is he's now called "Lefty, the one-armed, half blind,
gunman," but I'm gonna give you a point of grit!

Sammy, you're bot's quickness is now 5d12+4, but yer dead
and lost dominion BIG time..."
