It’s Canon Now: You can share a hero point as a free action (PF1) or reaction (PF2)
Hero points are a common way for GMs to award players for great play, superior roleplaying, and related events. In PF2, players are given a hero point at the beginning of every session.
You can spend your Hero Points in one of two ways. Neither of these is an action, and you can spend Hero Points even if you aren’t able to act. You can spend a Hero Point on behalf of your familiar or animal companion.
- Spend 1 Hero Point to reroll a check. You must use the second result. This is a fortune effect (which means you can’t use more than 1 Hero Point on a check).
- Spend all your Hero Points (minimum 1) to avoid death. You can do this when your dying condition would increase. You lose the dying condition entirely and stabilize with 0 Hit Points. You don’t gain the wounded condition or increase its value from losing the dying condition in this way, but if you already had that condition, you don’t lose it or decrease its value.
In either case, a hero point can now be shared to accomplish the same outcome on behalf of another provided they are next to each other – transferring a hero point is a touch, not a ray.
