A template is a pre-created hero that you can select and adjust quickly. Stats are given for each type, and you can adjust easily. The four abilty scores can be swapped out on an one-for-one basis, and you can add to the hero's ability scores by reducing Edge; add 9 if you reduce Edge from 3 to 2 and add 10 if you reduce to from 2 to 1. You can swap powers and skills one-for-one as well.
find the hero's calling by drawing a random card and looking at the calling in the upper right. (If the character is a villain, reduce Edge by 1 with no bonus, or add a Hindrance.) Costume, name, and histroy you can make up on the fly. None of these templates have hindrances. If you want hindrances, add 5 to your ability and intensity total for your first hindrance and 6 more if you take a second.
RANDOM MONIKERSAfter you've exhausted every other option (and we mean that), you can choose a random super hero or super-villain name using the values of just two card draws. Add the results together, with either one first . But don't say we didn't warn you.And remember,. When all else fails, alliterate.
