Galactic Hero Points

Hero Points are a powerful resource that can change the course of a scene via a key reroll. However, sometimes the use of Hero Points can become underwhelming when the reroll result is worse than the initial result—it might even feel worse if the reroll result is the same result as the original roll! This simple variant rule is intended to make Hero Points more of a heroic resource in your campaign, allowing you to reroll low results into something better. Using this rule will increase the overall power of Hero Points and, like some other variant rules, is something you'll want to heavily consider the ramifications of before including in your game.

Heroic Rerolls

When using this variant rule to reroll a d20 result using a Hero Point , if the result on the dice is less than a 10, increase the dice result to become a 10. This means that a result of a 9 would become a 10, a result of a 2 would become a 10, and a result of 17 would remain as 17.
