Hype
You start each session with a Hype Die which is a d12, choose a number on the die and place that number face up. Whenever you make an attack roll, check your Hype Die and if any of your Duality Dice match that number, you can clear a Stress or gain advantage on your next action roll. If both Duality Dice match your Hype Die, you gain both benefits and also clear a Hit Point. If a temporary Hype Die's number is rolled, you gain the normal benefits, that Hype Die is then expended.

Clinch and Throw
When you deal damage to an adversary that is roughly your size or smaller, you can spend a Hope to temporarily Grapple them.
