Roleplaying Hero point (POZ) loss

[Happy Fun Ball]

I use a basic system to give someone a rough idea of how much POZ I have. Goes like this:

0-4: I have a *really* bad feeling about this...
5-9: I'm feeling less confident and a little drained.
10-14: I'm ready to rock and roll.
15-20: I'm fucking invincible! Super confident.

Of course, I may also say I'm super-confident when I'm on meth or coke too, so you never know for sure...

Logan, is this metagaming or acceptable? Can a character sense how much POZ they have?

(Thought I'd ask.)

"Can a character sense how much POZ they have?"

Not really. Your luck is going to run out some day and probably sooner rather than later...

I can see playing more conservatively when you have less HERO Points - of course but don't tip off other players. Either they'll figure it out or just remain clueless.

Another cool thing though is if your character gets killed - they are not going to stay dead. And you get to see how the 'death system' works.
