 Heroism is relative, though.  If your players reckon they can cook up an
 ingenious and original scheme which will advance the plot, get them a bucket
 of fate chips and allow them to all look like action movie heroes, and that
 the GM won't let them die because of a bum die roll, because they did
 everything right and it just wouldn't be fair, then there's no danger and so
 no heroics involved.

 Curses, half my D&D group have just turned up and I've lost my train of
 though.  Umm, cool stuff is cooler when it's liable to get you killed?
