[QUOTE="thullgrim, post: 8739982, member: 8103"] How are Hero Points being awarded and spent? When I ran PF2 I found my players saving at least one Hero Point to avoid dying. That may in part because we also play Savage World and I'm kinda stingy with the bennies (not purposefully I just forget to award them), and you need the Bennies for Soak rolls. My experience is that is that it's easy to drop a PC, in many ways I think that's normal for the game, but hard to actually kill them. It's been said before in several places including here at ENWorld, that the game expects you to be at or near full health before the next encounter. Regarding Hero Point, because we do play Savage Worlds and my sessions tend to be run in 3-4 hour chunks I typically hand out all the Hero Points for the night up front and let the players manage it as a resource. It gives them options and lets them be as risky or risk-averse as they like. [/QUOTE]
