Hello again, in preparation for Gateway (LAX Hilton, Labor Day weekend), I’ve been updating some of the powers (Monster, Size & Shape, Earth, Animal) and also modifying and simplifying a type of power that I am now calling a ‘Helper’ power.
A Helper power is a power that gives you another character of some kind that works along with your Hero. It might be an animal friend, a robot, a Detective on the police force, or an elemental creature you can summon. All of these, I realize now, are variations of the same basic thing – someone (or something) that will do stuff for you.
Each of the ‘Helper’ powers is different and unique, but from a game-design perspective, they needed to be considered and balanced together. Check out the rules for how to create these ‘Helper’ characters, and see some ‘Helper’ characters examples and basic animal examples. let me know if it makes sense to you.
Cheers!
Andy A
