Sentinel Comics RPG Core Rulebook

Linear Challenges
Some challenges require a series of successful
superheroic tasks, represented by needing to
succeed at more than one Overcome action before
the challenge is resolved.
the heroes have infiltrated a laboratory
and found a sturdy BLAST DOOR Blocking
their progress...
Jennifer wants an element that keeps adding minions
to a scene, but also wants the heroes to be able to
expend some effort to neutralize it. She designs a
challenge like this:
HIDDEN ROBOT MINION FACTORY
Resolution
Find it
Destroy it
Unless otherwise noted, heroes need to address
each step of such challenges in order. However,
several heroes can act successively in the same
turn to advance a challenge until it’s resolved. A
12+ result on an Overcome roll spells out an
extraordinary success. In a two or more step
challenge, a 12+ result generates an extra success,
resolving a two-step challenge in one roll.
Multiple Solutions
Some challenges have multiple, but mutually
exclusive, ways of resolving them. Think of it as
the type of challenge that heroes can, for example,
bash or hack their way through, but not both.

AI-CONTROLLED BLAST DOOR
Resolution
Hack it
Destroy it
Jennifer knows that hacking it could be done by
any imaginative means — Muerto could attempt to
possess it, someone could try to talk their way through
it, or anything the heroes think of along those lines.
Destroying it is literally bashing through it, which might
be less creative, but it won’t be easier or faster.
