Sidekicks

Sidekicks can be anything from companions to pets, but generally they should attempt to help you in battle. I think you could
arguably take “Kindred” and just make it any sidekick you want, so I don’t see much point in creating a lot of different types of
sidekicks.

❏ Once per fight, when you leverage your vehicle to make a

Devoted

❏ When you Turn the Tide, envision how your mission gives
you strength in this moment. Then, when you make your
move, add +2 (instead of +1) and take +1 momentum on a
hit.
❏ When you score a miss on Face Death or Face Desolation
while actively working on a mission and there are less than 2
points of progress remaining before you complete that
specific mission, as long as your momentum is higher than
your reset value you can choose to reset it and turn your
miss into a weak hit.
❏ When you Complete your Mission and score a miss, you
may reroll one challenge die. If you score a miss again,
reduce your maximum spirit by 1. You may recover this lost
spirit when you next Complete your Mission and score a
strong hit.
Combat Talents
Some combat talents I wanted to play with!!

Dual Wielding

If you are wielding a gun/weapon in each hand:

❏ When you Strike or Clash, you may add +2. If you do (decide
before rolling), inflict +1 harm on a strong hit and count a
weak hit as a miss.
❏ Once per fight, when you Secure an Advantage +edge by
making a bold display of your combat prowess, you may
reroll any dice.
❏ When you attempt to intimidate someone you’re holding at
gunpoint, add +2 and take +1 momentum on a hit.
Powers
Whenever you choose a power asset, you must necessarily take the first ability (it might be a move or a passive bonus). On
subsequent times as you level them up, you must pick them in order. With this I tried to come up with some base powers that
could be fluffed in several different ways when you’re playing, and in each title you will find comments on how I think you
could use these, though honestly the sky’s the limit and you can do whatever you think sounds cool or fits your character.
In general, I think you could give your character any powers you want, so long as they’re merely fluff. Like if you have light/fire
powers, naturally you could light up dark rooms. You don’t need an asset for that. Assets are basically for mechanical
bonuses. Additionally, you’ll notice some of these powers are… well, quite powerful, giving you extra health bars and stuff.
This would make fighting troublesome and dangerous battles probably easier, but I think that’s thematically appropriate for
superheroes with powers, so there’s that.
If you’re trying to create new power assets yourself, there are some things you should keep in mind: 1) “passive” powers
are powers that work so long as your Element isn’t 0, and they give you small and specific bonuses (such as Special
Attacks). These are so it doesn’t feel like your character can use their powers only a handful of times, and then it’s gone and
they have a debility. 2) “active” powers are powers which spend your Element. Though again, since Element is a limited
resource, it’s important that these feel relevant or dramatic. So in general, they should be powers that last for a while instead
of “one-time-use” or that give you really good bonuses.
