This pattern is a still a stub.

Examples

In Bloodbowl players can choose which order to perform the actions of their team members. This supports Misfortune Mitigation since several types of results cause turns to end and skillful players can perform all safe actions first and then take actions according to their potential risks.

Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay let player characters start with a number of Fate Points. These can be used let players survive situations - often caused by unlucky rolls - which would otherwise kill them. Some versions of the game also provides Fortune Points which players can used to reroll dice rolls, providing another lay of Misfortune Mitigation.
