[QUOTE="argo, post: 1432648, member: 5752"] To elaborate some more. Fate points are one use points like Hero Points in AU. There are no guidlines for earning more Fate points, the DM hands them out whenever he feels that you have been cool enough to earn one. Most 1 level characters start with 3. The Left for Dead use is the primary purpose of Fate Points in Conan. There is no resurection and virtually no healing in the game, everybody _needs_ to keep one or two Fate points "in the bank" if they want to stay alive. Mighty blow is cool because in addition to doing maximum damage you weapon shatters with the force of the blow! :uhoh: Repentance can be thought of like spending a Force point to get rid of a Dark Side point in SW. Corruption is about as deadly as DSP's Destiny is just generally cool. The player calls in a chit and the DM will come up with something improbable to drop in his lap. It can give the game a very "pulp" feel when things happen like a serving wench falls despraetly in love with you just by looking at you and so brings you the key to your cell later when you are captured. Stuff like that. [/QUOTE]
