[dracopticon]

Several years ago, I gamemastered my own BRP-clone of EBROS in a campaign that lasted one year and a half, during which time I had a value on the character sheet called "Tanj" (from the Ringworld abbreviation "There Ain't No Justice"). This were my label on the Hero/Fate Points of my system. But the criteria was that they could do only so much.

For example, a character got three crossbow bolts in his chest in one combat round, and each was quite deadly (of course). So the player choose to use up three fate points (one for each bolt). And that really cost him, but it should!

The Tanj points could not reverse a gods decision, for instance, or something as heavy. But I plan to use the Tanj points again, since my view on characters are: they're heroes!
