Rules of Role-Finale Heroes

Chapter 1: Creating Your Character

Step 1: Establish Attributes

Every hero has six core attributes representing their raw physical, mental, and cosmic potential:

Attribute	Description
Strength (STR):	Pure physical power. Determines melee damage and lifting capacity.
Dexterity (DEX):	Reflexes, agility, and speed. Essential for dodging attacks.
Constitution (CON):	Physical durability and stamina. Determines your resilience.
Intelligence (INT):	Knowledge, analysis, and strategy. Affects tactical abilities.
Wisdom (WIS):	Perception, insight, and supernatural awareness.
Charisma (CHA):	Leadership and presence. Key for inspiring allies or intimidating foes.

• Roll 4d6, drop the lowest die for each attribute, or distribute 72 points across attributes, with a maximum score of 18.
• Use this table for modifiers:

Score	Modifier
3	-2
4–6	-1
7–14	0
15–17	+1
18	+2

Step 2: Choose a Role (Origin)

Your role reflects your origin and the source of your incredible powers.

Role	Traits
Celestial Being:	Gain +2 CON and resistance to radiant damage.
Genetic Superhuman:	Gain +2 STR and +1 DEX. Can survive in the vacuum of space.
Energy Manipulator:	Gain +2 CHA and an energy blast attack (1d10, range 100 ft.).
Mutated Warrior:	Gain +2 STR and natural regeneration (heal 1d6 per turn).

Step 3: Select a Class (Specialization)

Classes define your unique abilities and role in the team.

Class	Features
Titan:	Masters of strength and durability. Gain Colossal Strike (deal +1d8 damage with melee attacks). Hit Die: d12.
Blaster:	Experts in ranged energy attacks. Gain Overload Blast (add 1d6 to energy damage once per short rest). Hit Die: d10.
Speedster:	Superhumanly fast. Gain Rapid Strike (make an additional melee attack as a bonus action). Hit Die: d8.
Psychic:	Wielders of mental and reality-altering powers. Gain access to Mind Over Matter (levitate, telekinetically move objects). Hit Die: d6.

Step 4: Calculate Stats

• Hit Points (HP): Maximum roll of your class's hit die + Constitution modifier at level 1.
• Armor Class (AC): 10 + Dexterity modifier, modified by armor or natural defenses.
• Energy Points (EP): 10 + Wisdom or Intelligence modifier. Used to fuel special powers.
• Speed: Defined by your class and any abilities. (Most heroes start with 40 feet.)

Step 5: Choose Powers

At character creation, choose two signature powers from your role or class. These powers define your hero's unique abilities.

Example Powers	Effect
Meteor Punch:	Melee attack that deals 4d8 damage to a single target.
Shockwave Smash:	Creates a 20-ft. radius shockwave, dealing 3d6 force damage to all creatures within range.
Flight:	Gain a flying speed of 60 feet.
Energy Beam:	Ranged attack (120 ft.) dealing 5d6 radiant damage.

Step 6: Purchase Equipment

While most heroes rely on their powers, advanced technology and gear can augment their abilities. You start with 50 Credits (₡) to purchase items. See Chapter 6: Equipment.

Chapter 2: Core Mechanics

Ability Checks

When attempting an action, roll a d20 and add the appropriate attribute modifier. The result must meet or exceed the Difficulty Class (DC):

Standard DCs
Easy: 10
Moderate: 15
Hard: 20

---

Combat Basics

Combat is fast and destructive, emphasizing cinematic action.

• Initiative: Roll a d20 + Dexterity modifier to determine turn order.
• Attacking: Roll a d20 + proficiency bonus + relevant modifier. If the result meets or exceeds the target’s AC, the attack hits.
• Damage: Roll the weapon or power’s damage die and add the relevant modifier.

| Critical Hits: A natural 20 doubles the damage dice.
| Critical Failures: A natural 1 may cause unintended effects, as determined by the GM.

Chapter 3: Advanced Powers and Combat Mechanics

In Role-Finale Heroes, characters wield incredible abilities that defy the limits of ordinary strength. This chapter explores advanced powers, combat techniques, and the mechanics for executing superhuman feats.

---

Energy Points (EP)

Energy Points represent the source of your hero's power, whether drawn from stamina, focus, or a cosmic force.

• Starting EP: 10 + your Wisdom or Intelligence modifier.
• Regaining EP: Regain all EP after a long rest, and half your maximum EP after a short rest.

---

Signature Powers

Every hero starts with two signature powers. As they level up, they can unlock new abilities or enhance existing ones.

Power Name	Cost (EP)	Effect
Seismic Slam	3	Leap 30 feet and unleash a shockwave, dealing 4d6 bludgeoning damage in a 20-ft. radius.
Energy Barrage	5	Fire a volley of blasts at up to 3 targets within 100 feet. Each target takes 3d8 radiant damage.

Blazing Nova	8	Emit an explosion of fire in a 40-ft. radius, dealing 6d10 fire damage to all creatures (DC 16 Dexterity save for half).
Ultimate Strike	10	Channel all your energy into one devastating attack, dealing 10d10 damage and ignoring all resistances.

Combat Maneuvers

Heroes can perform dynamic combat maneuvers to create thrilling and cinematic moments on the battlefield.

Maneuver	Effect

Power Boost (3 EP):	Add 1d10 to the damage of any attack or power.
Last Stand (5 EP):	Instantly regain half your maximum HP (usable once per long rest).

Destructive Environments

When battles escalate to catastrophic levels, the environment itself becomes a factor in the action. Use the following rules to manage large-scale destruction:

1. Environmental Damage: Heroes and enemies can target buildings, vehicles, or terrain during combat. Use these AC and HP guidelines for structures:

Structure	AC	HP
Small Building	10	50
Large Building	12	150
Skyscraper	14	500
Mountain or Landmark	15	1,000

2. Chain Reactions: If a structure or environment is destroyed, nearby creatures or objects may take damage. The GM can assign collateral damage ranging from 2d10 to 6d10, depending on the severity of the destruction.

Chapter 4: Enemies and Challenges

Superheroes are defined by the adversaries they face, and in Role-Finale Heroes, enemies are as formidable and awe-inspiring as the heroes themselves. This chapter offers stat blocks and guidance for creating epic, high-stakes encounters.

Designing Epic Battles

2. Leverage the Environment: Use destructible terrain, hazards, or objectives to add complexity to battles.
3. Create Dynamic Combat: Incorporate enemies with unique abilities and mechanics to keep players engaged.

Let these foes test the limits of your heroes’ strength and set the stage for cinematic, world-shaking confrontations.
