Subsystems and You 8: Hero Points

 Alright, we begin this Mon-…

Ah, it appears I missed yesterday’s entry due to how busy I was. No matter, have two entries!

The vast spectrum of fantasy and heroic adventure in other genres often has the protagonists facing off against insurmountable evils and impossible odds to save the day. However, despite those odds, the heroes persevere…. Unless somebody rolls poorly at an inopportune time.

That’s where hero points come in, an optional subsystem for those gaming groups which hope to keep the game on-track, rather than risk a terrible ending.

Which isn’t to say that this system is entirely meta in nature. Plenty of stories exist where heroes find the strength to push themselves further than they are able to normally, to “Go Beyond” as a particular anime oft-repeats. Additionally, many old myths speak of times when the gods or other divine forces favor the heroes, and occasionally send aid in subtle ways.

 Either way, Hero points are not easily rewarded or recovered. As a baseline, characters are expected to have at most three of them at a time, and they are not recovered with rest or things like that. Such points are rewarded by the GM at their discretion.

Common times to award these points might be for showing up to sessions, for completing story or character arcs, for performing reverent acts for their character’s patron deity, and even for daring to do heroic, dangerous things that normally are ill-advised to do, such as a caster entering melee to save a friend, or facing off against a dangerous foe alone to buy others time, and so on. Even great roleplaying moments might warrant such a reward.

Heck, even out of game actions, like buying or preparing meals or snacks for the session, or perhaps providing other players with tighter budgets gaming supplies like new dice and the like. However, one needs to be careful about this, and such hero point rewards should only be for actions that benefit the group, lest hero points become currency of a petty bribery or extortion activity which drags the whole game down.

 So now that you’ve got your hero points, how do you use them?

The most common usage is spending them to reroll a failed roll. (or perhaps force the GM to reroll a succeeded save against a spell or ability of yours, though that is up to the GM) In this way, a player character can turn failure into victory, perhaps gaining superior focus and force of will to succeed when it matters most.

Another use involves allowing you or others to act out of turn, the hero pushing their body and mind to get a bit more speed out of it to interrupt foes or aid allies at a timely moment. While there are bonuses added to these moments, they also shift you around in the turn order.

Alternatively, another way to use this for the same thematic idea is granting an extra action on your turn, getting more of what you need to get done in a single moment.

You can also, in theory, use a hero point to buy a hint from the GM when stumped, though I don’t necessarily agree with that use, as a good GM should be providing alternate solutions or the necessary clues to a puzzle or situation.

Hero points can also represent untapped reserves as well, releasing an extra use of a spell or ability that has already been used up for the day.

Two hero points can be spent to cheat death, the character miraculously surviving a killing blow thanks to perhaps the brunt of it luckily being taken by a favored piece of equipment, for example, to reference the old “Bullet stopped by pocket bible/badge/heirloom gift from a friend” trope, or other such miraculous cinematic survivial. This can also be used to protect companion creatures like mounts, familiars, and the like as well, though rarely if ever completely separate entities.

Finally, hero points could be used to do the impossible. Such uses are the most subject to GM fiat, but are clearly beyond what is possible, but not so much so as to be deity-level. A spellcaster casting magic of a level just beyond what they are currently capable of (or perhaps a non-caster manifesting a minor spell for the first time!), daring feats of acrobatics that defy gravity, blocking a strike from an invisible foe that all attempts to detect have failed, destroying an artifact without the right conditions, and more. As a general rule, I’d hold off on this sort of hero point use until the most high-strung moments where it is needed the most, and they should probably require difficult (but not impossible due to the hero point) rolls to succeed, the success of which might even provide a reason for a character to unlock mythic power or justify branching into a new class or other crazy rewards, depending on the nature of the act.

 This subsystem is also supported by a series of feats. Namely Blood of Heroes, which increases the rate at which hero points are gained via level, Hero’s Fortune, which grants an immediate hero point and increases the maximum that can be retained (even giving NPCs like villains their own hero point to use), and finally, Luck of Heroes, which gives a chance of retaining a hero point after used, as if they had merely been supremely lucky.

 An interesting option included with this subsystem is the idea of the antihero. While thematically an antihero is someone who serves good, but does not do so in an honorable or ever morally sound way, in this case the term is used to describe a character who’s player has actively chosen not to use the hero-point system in a game that is using those rules. In which case, said character “relies more on their great skill”, gaining an additional feat. Whether they are true anti-heroes or not will depend on how you play them, but there is a thematic connection there, particularly if hero points are flavored as minor divine intervention for their favored champions.

 Most of the uses of hero points do not guarantee success. Because of this, they only slightly improve the odds in the favor of the PCs in a system that typically is already slanted a bit in their favor. Hero points are meant to add extra tension in dramatic moments by adding another chance to succeed or fail important rolls, but they’re not for everyone or every game. Choose wisely whether they should be included in your campaign.

That does it for now, but since I’m late on an entry, expect the next one later today!

Okay Ruby just earned some major points asking the old guy if he would be okay if she left to chase after the bad guy. So many other series would just have her pop off after him. Here, Ruby checks on the civilian before engaging in pursuit. Good work you. I wonder if she would have stayed if he said no?

Haven’t tried it out yet, only read the miiverse post, but the new Hero Points system in Triforce Heroes seems to fix one of the problems I had with the game :D
