Better stuff costs more points but you also get more of them if you fight better (finish the battle faster and with little damage take, …). BP are used for loot selection after a battle. Bonus dice: you can add these to hit% and damage or, at the end of a fight, trade some of them for more Barter Points.There is also an element based combo system where you have to chain together different element based attack to get bonus dice (it all gets explained in the game).
CRIMSON SHROUD ITEM NOT DROPPING FULL
You start each battle with full HP (no need to use curative items outside of it) but you also lose MP for each step outside of battle while gaining MP for actions in battle and taking damage.I really like the art direction but other people did't like it too much and you get a minimum of animation as your characters are displayed as gaming pieces on a little base/stand so when they act they just wiggle around a bit to indicate who is doing what (and they topple over when they lose all their HP).You get to actually roll virtual dice and they tie into other mechanics of the game.There is a simple behind the scenes EXP system but that gives you only skills and no stats. The combat is intense/involved, even normal enemies can be hard if you don't pay attention and you will need to select your equipment carefully, also your equipment is the only thing affecting your stats.Penny Arcade made a comic about it here.

Your weapons have many stats but they don't change stats by fighting and there is only a very simple crafting system. If you have played Vagrant Story (action RPG dungeon crawler) then Crimson Shroud could be described as a simplified JRPG version of this.
