DOOM POOL (OM14)

When you roll the Doom Pool as opposition, add

any appropriate traits (such as SCENE

DISTINCTIONS, COMPLICATIONS, or STRESS) to

the Doom Pool.

Whenever you spend a D12 from the Doom Pool,

give all affected heroes 1 XP.

STARTING DOOM POOL

Standard - 2D6

High Stakes - XD8

Catastrophic - XD10

Global Scale - 3DX

Cosmic Scale - 4DX

GROWING THE DOOM POOL

When a player rolls an OPPORTUNITY, hand thema PP to add a D6 Doom or step up the lowest die.

If a player rolls MULTIPLE OPPORTUNITIES, do the

above multiple times.

Add EFFECT DICE from a villain's action to the

Doom Pool (choose a die, unless a Hero can

oppose it, then – and only then – roll against

them to get the Effect Die).

When a villain uses a DISTINCTION as a D4, add a

D6 Doom or step up the lowest die.

When a villain activates a LIMIT on one of their

Power Sets, add a D6 Doom or step up the lowest

die.

SPENDING DOOM BEFORE THE ROLL

(D=) Add a Doom die to a villain's dice pool.

(D6+) Activate certain villain SFX.

SPENDING DOOM AFTER THE ROLL

(D=) Add an extra die from the roll to the TOTAL.

(D=) Keep an extra EFFECT DIE from you roll when

attacking multiple targets.

(D6+) Use an effect die from a REACTION ROLL.

(D6+) Activate certain villain SFX.

SPENDING DOOM DURING A SCENE

(D8+) Create a new SCENE DISTINCTION.

(D6 or D= highest of heroes’ Reflexes, Senses or

Speed) Interrupt the action order with a Watcher

character.

(D= highest Affiliation in play) Split the party,

readjusting their AFFILIATION dynamics.

(D varies) Activate SCENE or EVENT effects.

(D6+) Activate a hero's LIMIT. You must first offer

to pay the player 1 PP instead.

(2D12) End the scene immediately. Give all

affected heroes 2 XP, in this case.

STRESS (OM22)

When rolling against someone, if their STRESS

affects their ability to succeed, add 1 of their

stresses to your dice pool.

Stress starts out equal to the effect die size that

inflicted it.

If you already have Stress of a certain type andtake more of it, compare the old and new Stress

dice size. If the new die is larger, replace the old

with the new. If the new die is equal to or less

than the old, step up the old die.

Once any Stress exceeds D12, the character is

stressed out and can't take any actions until they

recover.

If a hero roleplays how they are stressed out, the

Watcher may reward them a Plot Point.

TRAUMA

Anyone who is stressed out gains a D6 of Trauma

(emotional, mental, or physical) that takes longer

to recover from.

Trauma or Stress (not both) can be added to

opposing die pools.

If you're already stressed out in a Scene and take

more Stress, it translates directly t o Trauma.

If any Trauma is stepped up beyond D12, your

character dies.
