SWURPG – Star Wars Universe Roleplaying Game

Heroic Surge

Heroic Surge represents the moment when heroes summon every ounce of strength, resolve, and willpower to defy the odds. In SWURPG, it fuels cinematic moments where actions beyond normal limits become possible.

Heroic Surge Points

Every character begins each session with 1 Heroic Surge Point.

Gaining Heroic Surge:

🎬 Starting each new session (or chapter) grants 1 Heroic Surge Point.
🏅 The GM may award bonus Heroic Surge Points for exceptional roleplay, daring acts, or major victories.

Cap: You can never hold more than 3 Heroic Surge Points at one time.

Spending Heroic Surge

Heroic Surge Points can be spent to perform extraordinary feats when they matter most:

Spend 1 Heroic Surge to:

🎲 Reroll any d20 roll (attack, save, skill) and choose either result.
⚡ Take an extra Action on your turn (e.g., Dash, Attack, Use Object, Activate Force Power).
⏱️ Act Immediately: Interrupt the current turn and act before the active creature finishes.
🛡️ Resist Fear or Mind Effects: Gain Advantage on a saving throw.

Free Action: Spending Heroic Surge is a free action — you declare it at any time, even outside your normal turn.
