A player gets Plot Points for doing something very cool or by failing miserably. When the GM decides that something cannot happen even if it should then a player gets one or two Plot points as well.
Plot points are originated from the Cortex Supernatural RPG but I have converted and adapted it to the Unisystem Supernatural version.
Plot Point Modifiers
You can spend a Plot Point to get a modifier for a roll, reduce damage or even manipulate something in the game.

| 2 | d4 | 2 | x |
| 3 | d6 | 3 | 1 |
| 4 | d8 | 4 | x |
| 5 | d10 | 5 | x |

Story Manipulation
| Cost | Impact |
| 1-2 | Inconsequential: Of course there’s some room in the trunk of the car. |
| 3-4 | Minor: Actually, there’s probably a spare bag of rock salt in there. |
| 5-6 | Moderate: Rock salt AND a shotgun I borrowed from Uncle Jed. |
| 7-8 | Significant: You remember Uncle Jed. Retired hunter? I’m sure he’s got an amulet or two stashed in with the salt and the gun. |
| 9-10 | Major: Hold on. I think that’s Uncle Jed pulling up in front of us. Good timing! |
| 11+ | Defining: Uncle Jed’s brought his hunter buddies and the Lesser Key of Solomon, too! What are the odds? |
