I like those odds! Haha).
Rule of Thumb:
Only roll for Stinger Drain when facing multi-lifepoint heroes:
- with 5 or more defense when you don't have height advantage
or
- with 7 or more defense when you have height advantage (e.g. Q9)
Even then, it isn't necessary to roll for Stinger Drain... it just increases the likelihood that your attack will inflict wounds (should you get the +1A boost and not end up being screwed).
Next game prediction:
A_Train ftw.

I know I probably shouldn't have rolled for Stinger drain, but I get stubborn. Especially after losing a Stinger on the first attempt, I figure "What are the chances of that happening twice in a row" and then "three times in a row".
Apparently, good odds.
Thanks for the advice though.
