OSINT-6 CHANGELOG 250813
We’re dropped the idea of using hero points. I think we were thinking of the James Bond RPG, which was arguably the first RPG to use them, and unconsciously trying to emulate it. They’re an optional rule in the 5e DMG but I don’t think they’re in the SRD, so we’d have to create our own mechanics for it.
But it doesn’t fit with what we’re doing. It would erase some of the point of capping advancement at 6th level to prevent power creep. And Alec Leamas couldn’t spend a point to keep Liz (or Nan) from getting shot while going over the wall.
