I have given this some thought.
The Tav'eren abilities (especially in TSR which I am currently reading) serve as a way to legitimise plot armour and Deus ex Machina events within the overall plot. Whilst this could be seen as a cheap and tacky gimmick, the way Jordan pulls this off is to still have the stakes matter - our Tav'eren heroes rarely come away unscathed.
This authorial plot armour really works for me as it serves to legitimise all of these elements of chance that favour the heroes.
Any thoughts?
