[QUOTE="d4, post: 1753594, member: 12699"] what i've found is that the heroes tend to need/use 2-3 Hero Points in the "warm-up" fights, and then another 2-3 Hero Points against the BBEG at the end of the session. so if you save all your HPs for the final encounter, you're probably going to end the session with some left unspent. since unspent HPs don't carry over from session to session, that's a bit wasteful. why not spend them all? when i said i expect the PCs to spend all their Hero Points every session, i wasn't implying i was a "killer" GM who throws overwhelming encounters at the heroes. far from it. i expect them to use all their HPs because they're wasted if they go unspent. i think they should be used even for "minor" encounters, and not hoarded only for "CYA" moments. the PCs usually have enough that they can spend their HPs when they want to, instead of only when they think they "need" to. also, i like to give bonus HPs as opposed to bonus power points for good role-playing, etc. [/QUOTE]
