Perhaps players get a certain amount of 'luck' each day. A one-hit
killing blow can be avoided if you have enough luck.
Thus:
% throw grenade Boffo
You lob a grenade at Boffo.
It explodes.
%
Boffo comes crawling out of the cloud of dust, coughing and sputtering,
singed but otherwise unharmed.
Boffo says, "Woah, that was close! I think I'm going to stay home for the
rest of today, I've just about used all the good luck I'm entitled to for
one day."
This is a nice was to help encourage players to explore. If they walk in
on the mighty dragon once, they will get a good scare. If they walk in
again, they get roasted.
