Editing Inferno (section)

==Hope==
The spiritual element that keeps a Lost One or other metaphysical being from being trapped in Hell is Hope. Hence the infamous call to "Abandon All Hope, Ye Who Enter Here". Mechanically, Hope is a new resource for characters to manage.

A character begins play in a game of Inferno with 33 Hope Points. Certain interactions may grant a player new Hope Points, either in a specific amount, or in the form of either a ''Spark of Hope'' (1d4 Hope) or a ''Glimpse of Hope'' (1d6 Hope).

Players who die in Inferno are revived at the rare Divine Flames, celestial pyres that literally embody Hope, at a cost of 1 Hope Point. They can also sacrifice Hope by Embracing their Sin (spending 2 Hope to get a bonus based on their Archetype), or by giving it to others, voluntarily losing 1 Spark or Glimpse worth of Hope to grant another willing soul an amount of Hope equal to half the roll.

Why is Hope valuable? Well, it keeps you from being snared fully in Hell. If you lose all your Hope, you need to make a Despair save; roll a d20, and if you roll equal to half your character level (rounded down) or higher, then you pass and regain 1 Spark of Hope. You can only resist Despair 3 times; if you fail your Despair save, or are called to make a 4th Despair save, then your character completely loses the last dregs of their spiritual protection and is immediately sucked away to take theiro place as one of the damned, doomed to suffer in Hell for all eternity.
