I NTRODUCTION

This Mutants & Masterminds supplement offers ten new

archetypes for different sorts of characters that might inter-

est players and Gamemasters alike. They also offer a look at

how you can create these characters in M&M for players and

Gamemasters interested in customizing or rebuilding the

archetypes.

These archetypes are also useful to Gamemasters look-

ing for some quick villains or NPC heroes; take a few arche-

types, give them catchy names and descriptions, and you’re

ready to go!

Skills are listed with the number of ranks after the skill

name and the total skill bonus listed in parenthesis. For

example: Bluff 5 (+8), means the character has 5 ranks of

Bluff and a total bonus of +8 when making Bluff checks.

All of the archetypes are for a power level 10 game, the

default starting power level. Several of the archetypes use

the Attack/Defense trade-off rule to adjust their maximum

attack, defense, damage, and Toughness save bonuses, as

determined by their power level.

Archetype Listing

The following archetypes make their appearance in this

supplement:

Android – a machine in human guise that combines the

best qualities of both.

Bulk –the unstoppable force and the immovable object

combined into one.

Fortunate Hero – the personification of being both lucky

and good.

Illusionist – using the powers of magic to beguile.

Mystic Warrior – a fierce combatant that draws power

from a magical weapon.

Psychic – there are no secrets from this powerful mind.

Star Child – a waif able to command the powers of the

universe.

Super Soldier – the end result of the best training and

equipment the government can supply.

Weather Controller – able to call upon the forces of

nature in all their fury.

Wealthy Thrillseeker – in it just for the kicks.

P REVIEW P OWER

The Fortunate Hero archetype in this supplement uses

the Probability Control power, a power that will be appear-

ing in the upcoming Mastermind’s Manual . The power’s

description has been included in this supplement for your

convenience.

At the Gamemaster’s discretion, you can split your

Probability Control among multiple die rolls in the same

round, having a lesser effect. So, for example, you could split

Probability Control 12 into two minimum die rolls of 6, or any

other combination adding up to 12. In this case, the GM may

wish to allow Probability Control ranks greater than 20, but

with no more than 20 ranks assigned to any particular die

roll in a round.

P ROBABILITY C ONTROL

Effect: Alteration

Action: Free

Extras

Range: Personal

Duration: Instant

Cost: 4 points per rank

•

Fortune (+1): You can grant the benefits of your

Probability Control to someone else by touch.

You have some control over the otherwise random

whims of chance. Each round you can make your Probability

Control rank the minimum result of any one die roll you

make. If the die comes up with a lower result, use your power

rank instead. So if you have Probability Control 12 you can

choose a die roll and be ensured a minimum result of 12 on

the die, treating any roll of less than a 12 as a 12. A 20 on the

die roll acquired through Probability Control is not consid-

ered a “natural 20.”

At rank 1 Probability Control only ensures that a natural

1 on an attack roll is not an automatic miss, if the total attack

roll would still hit the target’s Defense. Higher ranks increas-

ingly ensure reliably good outcomes (or at least a degree of

immunity to poor ones) while the highest ranks ensure the

character can regularly accomplish amazing things.

Probability Control’s maximum rank is the campaign’s power

level or 20 (whichever is less).

•

Jinx (+1): You can affect someone else with bad luck by

touch (requiring a successful melee attack roll for an

unwilling subject). The target gets a Will saving throw to

avoid the effect. If it fails, on one of the subject’s die rolls

for the next round (chosen by you), a roll equal to or less

than your Probability Control rank is treated as a 1.

•

Range (+1): You can use Fortune and/or Jinx at normal

range as a +1 extra. For a +2 extra, you can use either at

perception range. You must have the Fortune or Jinx

extra(s) to benefit from this extra.

Flaws

• Limited (–1): You can only use the Fortune or Jinx abil-

ity of Probability Control; the power doesn’t benefit you.

You must have the appropriate extra (Fortune or Jinx) to

take this flaw.
