I get so confused by the hero points. I guess I'll take a card feat (weapon) and go ahead and grab a weapon 5 - Jorgenfist Spear.

If I'm not mistaken, the new system devolves into this:
New adventure.
After number 1, gain a Power Feat.
After number 2, gain a Card Feat.
After number 3, gain a Skill Feat.
After numbers 4 and 5, gain a Hero Point. Add it to your cumulative total. Erase them all if you die.
New adventure (repeat).
I tend to swap number 3 above with 1 or 2 if I'm in a hurry, or use number 2 if we get a bonus card. Other than that, this is my pattern.

Generally speaking yes, the first three scenarios you will spend HP on skill/feat/power, in the order of your choosing. Any scenarios in that adventure beyond those 3 will earn HP that you will bank.
Banked HP can be spent to reroll all dice, or to revive from dead provided you have at least one. If you revive, all HP are lost.
I'm sure there are some times when you wouldn't want to take a feat the first three scenarios...but I'm hard pressed to think of why. I suppose if you really don't want to take any more card feats to prevent diluting that's an option...
So bottom line is you don't have to spend them when you earn them, but if you want a feat you have to do it with the one you just earned. However, once you say you want to bank it, I'm good and can move on.
If you ever are wonder if you can take a feat, I can answer the question, feel free to ask.

When I knew that Roles were getting close, and I didn't have any more Power feats that I badly wanted from my base class I've passed on taking any power feats for an entire adventure. Then in the following adventure on each of the first two scenarios you can take Power feats for both (to earn an extra role feat) and then take your skill and card feats in scenarios 3 and 4 (or mix those up a bit if you'd prefer, but either way you end up taking feats for each of the first 4).

No current active events going on, so no boon roll this time. I believe you all have maxed out on feats for 5, but let me know if you think that's not right and I'll verify. Anyway, make your selection for upgrade and I'll start setting up the last one in Path 5!
| Hayato - MidnightLich |
Banking my HP.
I would take an Ally 5 if nobody else wants one.
I'm also mildly interested in the Pharaoh's Key.

I'm also interested in a Blessing 5. It's normally so hard to get blessing upgrades, the fact that we've scored 3 of them this time around I think is going to make them pretty highly sought after. That said, if everybody else also wants one I'll step aside, because my upgrade isn't that great and I'm sure others have better options available.
| Hayato - MidnightLich |
If only that Sand Elemental was a mount.
I'll bank both HPs because I don't have a choice. If there's a Blessing 5 free, I'll take it otherwise I'll take nothing.

My 6s are...not that exciting.
Well, the spells are VERY exciting, but I can't use them because they all have the attack trait for some reason. 0.0
Blessing is probably the most interesting; its super-Gozreh; displays on a location and adds 2 dice to the check to close whenever that happens. So, I don't have to have it sitting in hand waiting to be needed; it can be dropped on the crappy hard location and move on. And it recharges after the location closes.
My next best card is a weapon, but only because of it's quirky tertiary ability (fling a potion to anyone at the table). I'm sure there are others who would put a weapon 6 to better use (like, anyone in the party).
Spending my HP on Power feat: "[X] (or discard)", so I don't have to bury an Alchemical card to add Dex to a mental skill check.
| Tarlin the Tired - SirDan |
My Spell 6 is a mass heal, so that's interesting.
My Weapon 6 is nice, but it is the same and Hyato's and I think he'd enjoy it more.
My Ally 6 is mediocre.
My Blessing 6 is nice, I'd like to get it eventually, but not first rate.
I think I'd take the Spell 6 if no one else is super excited. If that is the case I'll take a card feat for it.
| Radovan - Maelwys |
I've got a pretty wide assortment of cards that I could take...
But looking at others options, if Damiel takes the Blessing, Tarlin takes the Spell, and Hayato takes the Weapon, that leaves me with an Ally. And I'm perfectly happy with an Ally, if nobody else wants it.
Jelani -> Isiem (Ally 6)
HP: Power Feat ([] or damage from a summoned monster)
| Hayato - MidnightLich |
I'm happy to take a Weapon (6), if that works out for everyone. I will upgrade a Lance +1 (1) to a Defiant Nodachi +3 (6).
I will take a power feat for the following power:
[X] When you play the cohort Jinfu or discard a card that has the Mount trait for its power, you may recharge a random card from your discard pile ([X] or recharge the card you played and put a random card from your discard pile on top of your deck.)

Man I've gotten bad about recording this so I can grab it later...
Damiel - Blessing 6 / Power Feat - [X] (or discard)
Hayato - Weapon 6 / Power Feat - ([X] or recharge the card you played and put a random card from your discard pile on top of your deck.)

| Damiel Fncg |
As noted in chat, Damiel picked Blessing for the reward. I've got a Blessing of the Starsong (reroll all dice on a check) available to take at B6, but only if no one else wants it.
Otherwise, no upgrades for Damiel, but will activate the option on the Gunslinger boon and set aside my Canteen for a Blessed Bullet!
HP: Skill feat - Dex
| Radovan - Maelwys |
Radovan will select Blessing as well. I don't particularly have one in mind, but I'm sure somebody will want it.
Card upgrade: None
HP: Card Feat - Armor
Will fill that slot with an Armor 4 (Tier -2), Silken Ceremonial Armor (but definitely interested in an Armor 6 if we ever get one).
| Hayato - MidnightLich |
I'll spend my HP to get a Card Feat (Weapon). I'd like an Ally 6 as my upgrade.

HP to bank as well.
