Something to remember is that successfully countering an event only guarantees that you start the round with a "normal" result of -10/+50.

Thanks for the link Calthine, but I'm afraid the point is that the "guarantees" bit is NOT working.From the linked explanation, I think one of the following two bits are failing to happen: "It then checks for a reaction event that guarantees success or failure.""If you were successful it will check if it was a critical success; if not it checks for critical failure."I can imagine that the latter sentence could be an IF-THEN-ELSE piece of code. Or more accurately, that it was but the ELSE got lost and that piece of code is executing regardless.Kind of boggling that this bug has been going since February!
