  Y'know, it doesn't say, but I let 'em spend it whenever they want, it
makes no real difference, honestly.  I've discovered that players tend to
spend them white chips faster after they make the roll and find they
fail....I had one person go through nearly 5 white chips when he was trying
to fix up someone who'd busted their head (granted, he did have to default
on his Medicine roll, so...).  BTW, he still failed, and my posse fears
spending Red Chips.
