Yeah. We usually play that effective negative skills need a 3, assuming the GM allows it at all.

A 1 in 54 chance of succeeding at anything is too high :-)

Not in an Action setting. :-). Seriously, even a 1 defense succeeds 1 in 54 (Basic Set p 374).

Heck, Last Action Hero even make a joke regarding just how much damage "important" Action characters in movie could take.
