Sentinel Comics RPG Core Rulebook

Adding Additional Effects
As you’ve seen in some previous examples, don’t
hesitate to add more than one effect in a given
twist. Since the environment rolls three dice
whenever it comes into play, you can assign dice to
different effects. This allows you to use a simple list
of mechanics to create a multitude of twists that
feel vastly different, and it’s a good way to make
Yellow and Red twists more troublesome. The table
below provides guidelines to mix and match effects.

Powerful Entities as
Environment Twists
Sometimes you want a powerful entity to play a
role in a scene without being central to it. In such
cases, instead of keeping a character sheet for that
entity, you could create twists that represent their
impact. Just create its effects and frame them as the
actions of an outside entity.
