Core Mechanic

Roll three dice (from powers, qualities, and status) and use the middle result vs. difficulty. Your status zone (green/yellow/red) changes available abilities as you take damage.

Best For

Superhero campaigns that feel like reading a comic book, with a unique status-shifting system and structured hero/villain/environment turns.

Highlights

Captures comic book pacing well, status system creates dramatic arcs, villain/environment turns keep things dynamic, developed published setting

Considerations

Tightly tied to the Sentinel Comics universe, status dice tracking requires careful bookkeeping, can feel constrained for freeform players
