Howdy!

We dont award fate points, we use fate point experience points.

They are awards for amazing bravery, role playing, etc...

Once you have Fate Point Exps equal to your new Fate point total you get the next fate point.

Example: Johny Jarhead has 3 fate points , so when he gets 4 fate point experience points he cashes them in and gets his new fate point and now has 4 fate points. He starts over on his fate point exp. and when he gets 5 new fate point exp he gets his 5th fate point.

Hm, somehow it "feels wrong" that the player knows how soon or when he will get a brand few (powerful) fate point. I'd probably keep that xp amount secret to avoid issues/abuse. And then we're back at rewarding fate points when the GM feels like it (the only difference is how he's keeping track on when to reward it).

To me, this idea seems to be cool. Thanks for that idea!

It all depends on how many you hand out, I would never award more than one per session per group, maybe two if the players were exceptionaly brave
