I guess. I think the major issue I have is the occasion where it slipped into OOC shenanigans. Like, "Oh you're about to do X? Well I'm going to roll my auspicious dice and.. LOOKIE THERE! LOTS OF AUTO-CRITS! Guess if you do this I'll just kill ya." Or, promptly before that, "Oh this isn't going my way? Well I guess I'll just use inviso-dust and run back upstairs and kill her anyway."
These of course only happened once, but they stuck with me, and it solidified the problem in my mind. Val can basically kill anybody he wants to if it came down to it. I don't like the feeling of being basically strong-armed into doing things one guy's way.
