Sentinel Comics RPG Core Rulebook

Distance and Movement
SCRPG doesn’t track precise tactical movement
and range for Attacks. It’s assumed that all
characters in the same location can interact with
each other and target each other with any actions.
It all comes down to what everyone has established
in the scene, what descriptions are shared around
the table, and the outcomes of twists. In all cases,
you remain the final arbiter about what can happen.
As a rule of thumb, if a hero wants to move within
the same location, no actions are spent doing so. If a
hero wants to move from one location to the next,
they spend their whole turn doing so unless one
of their principles or powers could explain a rapid
transition. For example, a speedster like Tachyon
can most likely move from one location to the next
without performing an action unless entering into
a location requires a specific action, like breaking
through security systems designed against superpowered
entry.
In any case, any heroes moving from one location
to the next can still perform a Boost, Hinder, or
Defend action during their turn to help plan their
next turn. For example, as Bunker rocket-jumps
from the City Park to the top of City Hall, he can
spend his turn creating an equipment-based Boost
or make a Defend action as he prepares to draw
fire from Baron Blade’s turret on top of the building.
Maggie takes rockstar’s turn and
passes the action to muerto.
Paul takes Muerto’s turn and
passes the action to aeon Girl.
Muerto and aeon girl have just finished off
some goons at the museum, but rockstar is
in peril back in legacy park.

Running Action Scenes
If a hero has a particular power or ability that
lets them cover distance quickly, encourage them
to use it. They can quickly get from one place to
another by flying, teleporting, or even with their
signature vehicle! This is a game about comic book
storytelling and action, not about getting bogged
down in the minutiae of how many steps a hero
must take before they can punch the villain.
That said, sometimes you might want to restrict
their movement due to a particular part of the
fiction of the scene. In this case, create a challenge
(as explained in Chapter 5 on pages 189-199) that
restricts movement until it is Overcome. This can
keep them trapped somewhere, or locked out of a
place, or just slowed down by a magical or cosmic
effect, or something else entirely.
