[UA] Bodybag danger sense

[Cassady Toles]

  This also presumes adepts automatically know how many charges they're
  holding.  The bodybag in question might not know the gun was unloaded
until
  his spell failed.  Or, even then, he wouldn't know it wasn't just a simple
  failure.
  
I still think that telling someone to shoot at you with a gun that may or
may not be loaded is a risk.  In this case, it is an all or nothing risk,
either the gun is loaded and you're dead, or it's not and you're alive.  But
if you have no way of knowing, how is that different than russian roulette,
really?

I think there are a million ways to take a risk that don't require a die
roll:  "Is that gun loaded or not?" is one of them; taking a nap in the
middle of a quiet suburban subdivision is, etc.  In this case, the chance
isn't really random, it falls to an order that the character and player have
neither knowledge nor awareness of, hence:  it's a risk to "chance."  I know
some would say that it has to rely on "real chance," but when the invisible
clergy can take control of the myriad random elements of your life, does
such a thing exist?

That almost seems deep doesn't it?
