# Superheroes Adventure Pack

## Setting Information

- The world is shaped by the presence of individuals known as *supers*,
  *metahumans*, and *vigilantes*—those born, changed, enhanced, or
  cursed with abilities that defy known science or logic.
- The timeline is the present day, but history diverged long ago.
  Superhuman incidents have left scars on the world: collapsed cities,
  erased timelines, and buried truths governments won’t admit to.
- Locations range from towering neon-lit supercities and crumbling
  neighborhoods abandoned after metahuman conflicts, to secret labs
  beneath the ice, interdimensional echoes of past events, and
  fortress-prisons in orbit.
- Society is fractured by the superhuman question. Some idolize heroes;
  others demand registration, regulation, or exile. Legislation like the
  *Metahuman Registration Act* or *Zero Tolerance Zones* reflect the
  ongoing tension between freedom and control.
- Supers are not new. This is a world with generational heroes and
  legacies—golden-age icons now in decline, second-generation proteges
  under pressure, and outlawed third-generation metahumans born after
  catastrophic events.
- Key themes include:
  - **The burden of power** — What do you owe the world just because
    you’re stronger?\
  - **Public masks vs. private cost** — The hero’s image is curated; the
    toll is personal.\
  - **Control and rebellion** — Who decides how power should be used?\
  - **Broken legacies** — What if the past heroes were wrong? What if
    you’re their mistake?\
  - **The myth of justice** — What justice means in a world of secret
    wars, corporate heroes, and propaganda is up for debate.

## Special Rules

> *“With great power comes great complication.”* — Every action has
> weight in a world shaped by supers. These special rules reflect the
> dramatic highs, brutal costs, and cinematic moments that define solo
> superhero stories.

### Signature Power Surge

Once per mission, when the protagonist uses a **signature power** in a
context where it would dramatically shift the scene, you may declare a
**Power Surge**.\
- Skip the Oracle entirely. The result is an automatic **“Yes, and…”**,
narrated as a flashy, awe-inspiring moment.\
- Afterward, the protagonist gains the **“Drained”** condition until
they can rest or recover.

> *Example: The Tempest channels a city-wide storm to disable a fleet of
> drones. Power Surge activated — drones down in a flash, but he’s left
> reeling, off-balance, and vulnerable.*

### Hero Points

The protagonist begins each adventure with **3 Hero Points**. These
represent not just luck, but *willpower, improvisation, and the
unstoppable drive to do what’s right*.

You may spend 1 Hero Point to: - **Re-roll** an unfavorable result. -
**Ask a question with advantage**, even when normally rolling at a
disadvantage. - **Ignore a frailty or condition** for one scene. -
**Stagger dramatically instead of falling** when a twist or failure
would otherwise remove you from action.

Hero Points **refresh at the start of a new adventure** or after a scene
of deep rest, healing, or personal reconnection (even a dramatic rooftop
monologue will do).

### Public Perception

Superheroes live under scrutiny. At the end of key scenes, you may roll
1d6 to check how your recent actions shifted public opinion. This
affects future events, opportunities, and even Oracle rolls involving
civilians or institutions.

| Roll | Public Response          |
|------|--------------------------|
| 1    | Fear and backlash        |
| 2–3  | Mistrust and uncertainty |
| 4–5  | Supportive but divided   |
| 6    | Celebrated and admired   |

You may optionally track **Reputation** as a tag that changes over time.

### Collateral Tags

During dramatic or large-scale scenes, introduce **Collateral Tags** to
locations or situations that reflect unintended consequences of
superhuman actions.\
These can then be used as **risk factors**, **story prompts**, or
**scene complications**.

> *Examples: “Downtown in Rubble,” “Citizens Trapped in Fire,” “News
> Drone Watching,” “Power Grid Unstable.”*
