I had the "spend points to affect die rolls after the fact" mechanic
switched on in my Crimson Skies campaign, but most of the time the
players didn't use it - it's explicitly useless in combat, which was the
time they wanted to recover from failed die rolls quickly - when they
were looking for information or trying to charm members of the opposite
sex, they preferred to role-play the results of their failed rolls. :-)
