Sentinel Comics RPG Core Rulebook

STEP 3
Archetypes
Your archetype is how you use your powers and
how you generally operate as a hero. Most teams
have a variety of archetypes to ensure they all serve
different roles on the team.
At the end of the power source step, you rolled
a set of dice. Use those dice to select an entry on
the archetypes table by using the result of one of
those dice or by adding any two of them together.
You also need the size (but not the values you
rolled) of those same dice to assign to powers, so
be sure to note those as well.

A roll of 10, 8, and 2 gives the following options for
archetype: Shadow (2), Flyer (8), Robot/Cyborg (10),
Psychic (12), or Reality Shaper (18). Robot/Cyborg is
a reasonable option for what the Chrono-Ranger has
been in the past, but now that he has limited control
over time, Christopher decides to take Reality Shaper.
