Foundry VTT Module: Hero Points ➕

Create your own character progression subsystem, or implement your own inspiration-like system, compatible with any system in Foundry VTT.

Why?

• You can implement Hero Points, Action Points and several other similar optional rules, for several different systems
• Sometimes players get bored with the way their character progress in the system, a new progression subsystem can make them more interested and help differentiate their characters from others in your world
• You can develop more ways of punishing or rewarding your players than simply giving out XP for killing monsters, an idea is only rewarding Hero Points for roleplay, or achievements not relying on combat
• The system is very flexible, you can create flaws, set items wich can only be bought once, items wich increase in cost with every purchase, items wich require additional information to be bought
