Valor

Valor represents your characters determination. It is the ability that heroes have to push past their limits and do the impossible. It is a mechanic designed to push you further towards adventure and to take more an more risks. Valor can be gained in many ways, but it is rest back to 1 at the end of a long rest.

When your group meets to play the game, your Narrator will typically give out one Valor to each player. At the end of a combat encounter, a skill challenge, or a social event, each player involved will receive one Valor. For every natural 20 or natural 1 you roll, you will be rewarded one Valor. Also, each time you recover from the disabled status you are given one Valor.

Your Narrator can also choose to give you Valor for a variety of reasons. Narrators might award it when you play out your personality traits, give in to the drawbacks presented by a flaw or bond, and otherwise portray your character in a compelling way. Your Narrator can also reward a player or players with Valor by giving them a more difficult challenge, such as a turn in combat where all rolls are at disadvantage or an enemy has advantage for a turn.
