Sentinel Comics RPG Core Rulebook

An Illustrated
Guide to Your Hero
The mechanics you need to run your hero are
found on your hero sheet. Let’s take a close
look at Legacy’s hero sheet.
This character was once called Young Legacy and is
the daughter of the hero now called Heritage: the
man known as Legacy before the OblivAeon event.
Page One
The first page of your hero sheet contains elements
describing your character in broad strokes: basic
info, motivations, and past adventures.

Hero Picture: Add artwork of your hero!
Player: That’s you.
Hero Name: Your heroic moniker.
Alias: Every hero has a “mundane” name, your
identity when you’re not adventuring or fighting
crime.
Physical Attributes: Describe the things people
notice when they see you.
6
Characteristics: The four main building blocks
that go into making your character. Background
is where you come from. Power source
explains how you have your ability to fight
evil. Archetype is what kind of hero you are.
Personality is exactly what it sounds like!
7
Principles: Every hero has two basic principles
(page 14) that drive who they are. This area is
where those principles are explained, including
how to roleplay them, what occurs during a
minor twist, and what happens during a
major twist (page 30). You will also have
an ability (page 15) related to each of those
principles (pages 31-32).

Hero Points This Issue: Hero points
are gained when you use abilities from your
principles, and during some social scenes.
Whenever you gain a hero point, mark one
of these ovals. You may gain up to five hero
points per session of play.
9
Hero Point Rewards: Hero points can be
used between play sessions to create bonuses,
which you record by filling in the ovals next to
the size of the bonus you created.
10
Back Issues: When you finish an issue, you and
the other players give that issue a name and
number, which you record here.

Collections: Once you have six back issues
(well, usually six; your GM will let you know),
gather them all into a collection, name that
collection, and erase all the issues from the
Back Issues section. Collections are called on
during play to maximize a die or to add to the
story during a scene (page 32).
