Banking Hero Points

Hero Points can carry over between adventures, but the game encourages you to spend them to create memorable moments rather than hoarding them. If you choose to bank them, they can be used later for character advancement.

Carrying Over: After a major adventure, you’ve banked several Hero Points that you plan to use in the next session to add a new trait or improve an existing one.

Spending for Impact: During a final showdown, you spend your banked Hero Points (up to your limit) to pull off a daring and decisive move that turns the tide of the battle and leads to victory.

Building Toward a Goal: Over several sessions, you’ve been saving Hero Points with the intention of using them to introduce a powerful new trait that will redefine your character’s role in the group.

Using Them When It Counts: While you’ve been cautious about spending Hero Points throughout the campaign, you’ve banked enough to ensure that when an important moment arrives, your character will shine, pulling off an unforgettable feat.
