It's at my whim. I hand them out for good roleplaying, great jokes, flamboyant heroism. Sometimes, if someone uses their points to do something exceptionally self-sacrificing, the Gods see fit to hand them all back.

The short answer is: As many per session as I expect them to spend.

The cost of doing things are set accordingly. If I want players to be able to tweak one roll a game, I would hand out 2 Hero points, and then charge 2 hero points to convert a Crit Failure into a Success.

If I expected each player to do so 3x per session, I would hand out 6 points, and charge the same 2 points. And so on.
