Originally branded as a way to declare a moment when everything is on the line, this branding is shifting gears onto a new form of use.

A Heroic Opportunity is now an event descriptor signaling that an event is designed in such a way as to have many of the usual expectations of a safety net removed. Stakes are raised and there's no reasonable assurance of coming back home that night. In fact, most folk would reasonably assume you won't be coming back at all. Characters stepping into these events should be prepared to face being killed, captured, or worse, should they fall in combat and be left behind.

This will allow Heroic Opportunity events to be a bit more common, and thus an actually useful identifier.

What to prepared for:
  • Odds stacked against you.
  • Dangerous enemies and situations.
  • Character death.
  • Capture by the Empire.
  • Something far.. far worse.
