ROLLS

Iconic Framework: A.R.E.S.
  • Origin (1d8): [dice]0[/dice]: Mysterious Origins
    • Abilities: Choose two Background Edges or Attribute Advances. Also choose two major Hindrances (this option only available with GM involvement in the process)
  • Powers and Greatness (2d12): [dice]1[/dice]
    • 11: Resistance and Regeneration: You receive a +4 bonus to resist four negative environmental/damage effects, chosen from the following list. Each may only be chosen once. This also counts as Armor against attacks based on that element. You also gain the the Fast Healer Edge, +2 Toughness, and the Slow Regeneration ability, or upgrade an existing Slow Regeneration Ability to Fast Regeneration. You cannot override a racial weakness or vulnerability with this feature. Cold/Ice, Darkness, Earth/Stone, Electricity/Lightning/Ion, Fire/Heat, Force, Kinetic Energy (including bullets, explosions, and rail guns), Light (including daylight and lasers), Magnetism, Necromantic, Poisons/Diseases, Radiation, Sound, Specific Metals (Silver, Cold Iron, etc), Water, Wind & Air, and others as appropriate. Note you can trade two resistance choices to include all Magical Sources OR all Psionics sources of damage. But even friendly arcane powers of the chosen type must subtract this modifier to affect the resistant hero. This does not combine with similar abilities, such as the Arcane Resistance Edge.
    • 12: Choice: --> Super Shooter (7): Trademark Weapon, Sniper Edge (below), Shooting d8, Choose any ranged weapon (C-29 'Hellfire' Hvy Plasma Cannon), d10 roll for weapon mod: [dice]6[/dice]: +2 AP
      Edge: Sniper
      Prerequisite: Shooting d8, Agility d8, Notice d6
      You are trained to compensate for gravity, distance, wind, and other factors that might otherwise spoil a well-placed shot. You know how to aim to deal the most damage to your opponent with a ranged weapon. When making a ranged attack against a foe you have The Drop on, use d10 for your Wild Die; or increase it by one step if it is already d10 or higher.

Hero’s Journey: (FOUR ROLLS) A.R.E.S. Heroes begin with four rolls on any Hero’s Journey tables except Cybernetics. Cybernetics may be chosen if the character lacks an Arcane background or any powers.
