@Jig, dices are random (obviously). While it might be great development for your character to experience defeat, it might also be great for them to be on a long winning streak and become overconfident because of it (and then end up making mistakes that aren't salvaged by dice rolls). The dice gives you less control, but not less development or story.

Sure, winning is also decent character development if that's the way you want to take it*. I'd simply rather choose.

*typically, I like to hit my characters repeatedly with a stick, but I'm sure I'll throw one a bone one day.
