@Gryphonknight, I think @Garanwyn saying yes was in answer to your question, but just in case I will state unequivocally @ you that the answer is YES.
I also endorse the earlier point Garanwyn made earlier about getting easier raids by rolling and then doing your revenges.
Actually, what I sometimes do is combine these two game mechanics. I’ll check my normal raid roll. If I like it, the game’s afoot! If not, I do a single revenge, then check my normal raid roll (having gotten, in essence, a free re-roll). If I like it, attack. If not, another revenge. And so on.
