Luck & Vigor

What doesn't kill you ... makes you stronger! is the premise of this game.

You have a number N (between 1 and 6) that measures a balance between Luck and Vigor. When you test your Luck you fail if you roll above N. When you test your Vigor you fail if you roll below N. N gets smaller each time you fail a test. If you roll N, you can set it to anything between 1 and 6. If N reaches zero, you die.
