Hope & Fear
Hope and Fear are currencies in Daggerheart RPG representing how fate turns for or against the characters during the game.
Hope and Fear are the twin currencies that drive Daggerheart's narrative engine. Players spend Hope; the GM spends Fear. Together they shape the ebb and flow of every scene.
Each character begins with 2 Hope. Whenever your Hope Die beats your Fear Die on a Duality Dice roll, you earn one more (up to 6). Conversely, rolling with Fear feeds the GM's pool.
Spend Hope to assist allies, leverage your character's life experiences, or supercharge spells and abilities at critical moments.
