Starting hero has (usually) 5 Hero points. Taking more boons one decreases theirs value. Yes or not? Perhaps boons are transposing with flaws (in a rate 1:1)? I don't grasp it, in the Mythic Draft there are two different explanations:

1. Decreasing the number of boons:
"Most characters have 5 Hero Points to start the game with. If you are Marked by the Gods, you’ll have 6 Hero Points.If you chose an additional background boon, then you may only have 4Hero Points. If you chose two additional boons, you may only have 3 Hero Points. You might have an extra Hero Point if you took a Calamitous Failure option earlier in the adventure."
2. Flaw instead of a Boon:
"Boons are advantageous traits and flaws are disadvantageous ones. Your character has at least one boon and can have more if they take some flaws too. The first boon and flaw available to you depend on where you are from. This is detailed in Chapter 3"
