So, throughout my games I like to give my players small rewards and tidbits for exemplary roleplaying, actions in combat, etc. etc.
After the first chapter in our current saga, the Sergeant put up some PCs for commendations for going above and beyond during the course of action.
I know the book has some awards and medals to hand out to the PCs and it also encourages making up your own. I want this thread to focus on the latter. Have any of you made up your own medals or battlefield commendations to give to your players? If so what were they for and what were their effects?
As it stands, I am thinking of having them directly reflect the actions the players took to earn them. For example, one PC's actions and piloting skills saved a bunch of his comrades lives. I was thinking for his commendation, he could get +2 to Ag... OR maybe allow him to get a bonus +10 to any pilot test once per game session/mission, something like that.
Has anyone done anything similar?
