Cunning seems to help, and you get them less often as you advance (and, it
seems, MORE often on adventures than in the guild), but that's all I know.

Were you trying to use Initiative?  If not, it may be a bug... ask Hugh.

Every 10 gc gives you 1%.  If you don't die very often (which I'd hope you
don't, since you're undoubtedly a back-rank guy if your stamina is that low),
it's cheaper to just pay, but it's always good to have a good devotion level.
