ideas for hero boosts

[grimgrimly]

Hi Everyone,

I'm going to introduce hero boosts into the game. Basically, if you do something heroic you get a 1-time boost that you can put towards helping you in some way.

I need to develop a list of things that you can do to earn a boost.

two things:

Heroic Boost: Lets you do 1 of 4 things:

1. Add a d6 to your actions. Normally you 'roll' 3d6 to see if you do something.
2. Add 6 to your damage or results when you hit something.
3. You may take a 1/2 recovery: i.e. you gain back half your REC in stun. This recovery is free and does not cost an action.
4. Take a free non-attack or non-recovery action.

List Items:
So what should be on the list? I don't want anything that is a mechanical aspect of fighting like "knock out x number of super villains". I'd like items on the list to be fluffy, more on the role playing side, and specific to superheroes: e.g. save an innocent bystander or challenge an opponent who far outclasses you.

Ideas?

So how should we set up a response? Should we have a required condition(s) to use the boost, or something one does to get the boost that they can then just save for later use? So far what I can come up with is something like this:

Bat out of hell
-Gamewise: Fury runs at top speed towards an opponent and hits them with a violent amount of force (often in the form of a drop kick).
-Effect: Add 6 to your damage or results when you hit something.
-Requirement: First action must be to run at the opponent. May only be used once.

Something like that?

You'd get the boost and can bank it for later use in one of the four ways.
