Sentinel Comics RPG Core Rulebook

DiViDED
You have two very different forms,
such as an unpowered civilian form
and a powered heroic form.
Note: Divided heroes are more complex to create than most heroes. We strongly recommend that
the first hero you create in the Sentinel Comics RPG isn’t a divided hero.
Divided heroes have two forms: one civilian, and one heroic, with some method to change between them.
Reroll the dice you rolled at the end of the power source step and choose another archetype other than
Divided or Modular. Your full archetype is “Divided [whatever you chose].” Follow all the steps of that
archetype, but when told to select a principle from that archetype, return to this archetype and complete
this section. You may want to make notes on your auxiliary sheet on how your divided form works.
First, choose one of these four methods of transformation:
• Controllable Transition: You change between two different forms through some method that you
have control over at all times. It might be yelling a magic word, or an elaborate sparkly transformation
sequence. The disadvantage of controllable transition is that it always takes time to transform. Gain
the following Green ability:
ICON NAME TYPE GAME TEXT
Transform
• Device Transition: You transform between forms via a device of some kind, possibly via cybernetic
upgrades or a magical artifact that channels the essence of a demigod. The disadvantage of device
transition is that you need access to the device to enact your transformation. Gain the following
Green ability:

Change from your civilian form to your heroic form, or vice
versa.
If you have access to your device, change from your civilian form
to your heroic form, or vice versa. After your transformation,
take a basic action using your Min die. if you have any penalties
that separate you from your device or otherwise inhibit you
having full access to your device, you cannot use this ability.
• Merging/Possession Transition: Your transformation isn’t entirely within you and you require other
entities to change forms. For some, you must merge with someone else/something else to achieve
your full heroic potential. For others, you take direct control over inanimate objects or people to
manifest your powers. Gain one of the following Green abilities:

If you have access to a willing compatible person to enable your
transform, change from your civilian form to your heroic form,
or vice versa. After you transformation, take a basic action using
your Min die. If you have any penalties that separate you from
that person, you cannot use this ability.
Attack using [a power gained from your archetype]. If you
incapacitate the target and change forms, you may use your Min
die as a bonus to your next action. Alternatively, you may possess
a willing target for no bonus.
Overcome using [a quality gained from your archetype]. On a
success, merge with an item and then use your Min die to take
a basic action.
