Besides, being able to spend the points to improve rolls allows heroes to get off those badly needed "defuse the bomb or we're all dead" rolls. Plus you can occasionally fleece a bad guy at the tables and then steal his girlfriend.
But IMO they shouldn't be able to make shooting the bad guys even easier just by spending Hero Points. Ditto fleecing, girlfriend-stealing and whatever they should do on their own, I'd say. (Maybe in Bond it's ok - I guess that's more like story-telling).
The "do this or we die" thing is defensive, though, so that's fine. Just like Luke's Death Star shot...
