It's Dice, very damned time. They take on the big bad, fast-draw and shoot him, with a 3, Critical hit is a major wound no matter what. He's stunned and can't roll to snap out of it until they kill him. They fail to calm down a crazy street person with a butter knife, he attacks, with a three, tripple damage through DR, character is unconscious and bleeding and arriving paramedics can't revive them.

It's also the D&D poisoning. Characters figure they have full hit points and the last of the gang of kidnappers is pinned down with a rifle. Time to walk out of cover and talk **** trying to intimidate him into giving up, failed dodge, no luck for 12 more minutes, shot through the chest a days ride from anyone who knows first aid.
