Ummm, actually, there's only a 50% chance they go away (i.e., on an odd 
roll), isn't there (pg. 170 of the HoE Rulebook)?  That kindamakes them 
disposable, but it isn't automatic as is implied above.

I was under the impression it was proposed that the revised Deadland rules 
have the Legend chip automatically go away upon use, but A) Myself and 
several others had a problem with that; B) I haven't seen the revised rules 
yet; and C) I'm not clear that all such revised DL rules are to be, or have 
been, implemented in HoE.
