Sentinel Comics RPG Core Rulebook

Determine how many threats you bring in. A
good rule of thumb is to add a quantity of a threat
equal to the Min die when a minor twist occurs,
and a quantity equal to the Mid die for a major
twist, but use your judgment as a GM.
For example, if the heroes have invaded the secret
base of a villain, they may trigger a secret alarm that
brings more guards into the fray, depending on the
dice rolled by the player attempting to Overcome
that particular challenge.
Create a Challenge
Sometimes, when heroes try to fix a problem, they
end up creating another one. Feel free to piggyback
on what a hero has just accomplished to bring in
another challenge.
Just make sure that you frame the new challenge
in such a way that it doesn’t invalidate the success
obtained by resolving the original one. Any twist,
either minor or major, will never invalidate the
hero’s success. Twists add wrinkles or costs to
success; they don’t take away successes entirely.
A combination of twist elements
If you want to create more complex twists or want
to beef up a major twist to create a memorable
moment at the table, feel free to combine two or
more of the above types of twists. This is especially
interesting when you mix story twists with
mechanical ones in action scenes. Feel free to use
the dice the heroes used in various ways, such as a
Hinder with the Max die while also adding minions
equal to the value of the Min die.

few hundred civilians remaining can’t evacuate
fast enough and are in danger!
