Questions:

1) on ITL pg 57 if you fail the Risk roll, and the save, your hero takes 4 dice of damage. Does armor affect this damage?

2) say your character dies from his job. Well that's boring. Maybe a better result is he is fired and banned from that profession. Or went AWOL and now is a wanted man and may not return to the Army. Or his lab burned to the ground destroying tens of thousands of silver worth of lab, supplies and item. Or... anything is better than you character dying "off screen" with no story or competition. Whatever the damage, it should have a permanent effect. Banned from a career, a town, a province or great finance loss or favorite magic item loss, etc. This is only if the damage exceed your ST (and question #1 may determine that).
