Also, remember that if your players are racking up Corruption, they're doing
unheroic things, and therefore they should have to work hard to redeem
themselves.  Legend chips, to me at least, represent the heroes becoming not
just heroic, but publicly so.  If your hero raises a horde of Walkin' Dead,
people are going to be more than a bit afraid of him and he's really going
to have to try to regain their trust and admiration.
