=Hero Points=
When you achieve something heroic, portray your character in a fun and interesting way, or just do something plain awesome in the game, the GM will award you with Hero Points. You spend these during the game to get special benefits. Here are some ways you can spend them during the game:

* Reroll on any Attribute roll and the take the result you like best
* Evade 1d6 damage from an attack on you
* Do an extra 1d6 damage with an attack
* Recharge an Ability that you‟ve already expended that day
* Use an Ability from your career that you don't have yet

You can have a maximum of twelve Hero Points at any one time. You can share Hero Points with other players by describing how you help, directly, indirectly, or via retcon.

When you spend a Hero Point, keep track of it. Each time you spend 12 Hero Points you will level up and gain the benefits as seen below. Your newfound expertise will grant you access to more Skills and Abilities, increase your Damage and Vitality, and give you extra bonuses for Attributes. When you level up, consult the chart below to determine what rewards you receive at your new level. You don't level up on the spot - you must rest for a while and spend some time training or reflecting to actually Level Up.

With the GM's approval, you can also choose to have Multiple Careers. When you would Level Up and earn a new Skill, you can forgo taking that Skill in exchange for gaining access to a new Career's Abilities. From then on when you level up, you can choose Abilities from either of those two Careers. You can do this procedure twice, ultimately giving you access to a total of three Careers and their Abilities.
