Democracy Protects - Passive Rebalance (50% → 51%)
This mod adjusts the survival chance granted by the Democracy Protects passive from 50% to 51%.
Why: At 50%, each lethal hit is an independent coin flip. Mathematically, this still results in surviving roughly half of all lethal hits over time — but because each roll is independent, it's entirely possible to die 8–10 times in a row before the passive ever triggers, followed by a stretch of 8–10 consecutive survivals. The long-run average holds, but moment-to-moment it can feel wildly inconsistent.
What changes: Raising the odds to 51% doesn't eliminate that randomness — it's still a per-hit roll, and streaks can still happen. But shifting the balance even slightly reduces the likelihood of extended losing streaks, making shorter runs (1–3 deaths before a save, rather than 8–10) more common. Over 100 lethal hits, you'll still see roughly 50 deaths and 50–51 survivals — the total outcome barely changes. What improves is the consistency of how those outcomes are distributed, making the passive feel more reliable in practice without meaningfully altering its overall power level.

Math:
- P(10 deaths in a row) at 50%: 0.50¹⁰ ≈ 0.098%
- P(10 deaths in a row) at 51%: 0.49¹⁰ ≈ 0.084%
