I NTRODUCTION

This Mutants & Masterminds supplement offers players and

Gamemasters a total of ten new ready-to-play archetypes for street-

level (PL 6-8) games. In addition to the full stats, which allow players

and Gamemasters to customize or rebuild each archetype, the arche-

types are also useful for Gamemasters in need of some quick villains

or NPC street-level heroes (for any level of game); just give them

some gritty names and backgrounds and they’re ready to go!

As per the archetype standard skills are listed with the number of

ranks after the skill name and the total skill bonus listed in parenthe-

sis. For example: Bluff 5 (+8), means the character has 5 ranks of Bluff

and a total bonus of +8 when making Bluff checks.

All of the archetypes are for a power level 6 game, which was cho-

sen as the default starting PL for a street-level game; games taking

place at a higher PL will require adjustments to the archetypes in the

form of assigning the appropriate points to attack and defense

bonuses, power ranks, skills, feats, etc. within the themes established

for each archetype. Note that several of the archetypes use the

Attack/Defense trade-off rule to adjust their maximum attack,

defense, damage, and Toughness save bonuses, as determined by

their power level.

Table of Archetypes

The following archetypes make their appearance in this supplement:

Electric Hero – an inventor with a shocking idea.

Fixer – when no one else can help.

Futuristic Law Officer – the future of law enforcement is

today.

Living Saint – doing good works is all that matters.

Misunderstood Monster – proving that looks aren’t

everything.

One-Trick Hero –superhuman, but just barely.

Powered Armor – sleek and shiny sheetmetal, powerful

weaponry, what more could one want?

Soldier of Fortune – have gun will travel.

Supernatural Scholar – researching things better left

unknown.

Unretired Hero – an old warhorse returns to battle.

* without suit

The Electric Hero wears a Device, in this case a voltage suit, capable of creating a

variety of electricity-based effects. From brightening up a room to shooting fin-

gertip lightning bolts to moving metal objects, the suit’s powers are the Electrical

Hero’s to command. Although the Electric Hero is assumed to be the creator of the

suit the archetype may have inherited or even simply found the suit and could, in

fact, still be learning about its capabilities.

Skills: Computers 8 (+12), Craft (electronic) 8 (+12), Disable Device 8 (+12),

Knowledge (physical Sciences) 8 (+12), Knowledge (technology) 8 (+12),

Notice 4 (+6)

Feats: Improvised Tools, Inventor, Power Attack

Powers: Device 9 (voltage suit; hard to lose): Force Field 4 (electric field;

Extras: Impervious), Immunity 6 (cold, electricity), Protection 4 (insulating

composite), Stun 8 ( Extras: Aura; Power Feats: Alternate Powers – Dazzle 8

(visual) and Flight 4 (100 MPH), Electrical Control 8 [ Extras: Area (Line);

Flaws: Range (Touch)] and Magnetic Control 4 , Strike 8 [ Extras: Aura] and

Light Control 4 [50 ft. radius])

Combat: Attack +4, Grapple +4, Damage +8 (aura, electrical control, strike),

Defense +3, Knockback -6, Initiative +2

Drawbacks: Normal Identity (full-round, 4 points)

C OMPLEX E LECTROCUTION H AZARD !

Wearing an electric suit makes the Electric Hero a prime candidate for one or more additional drawbacks. Possible drawbacks include:

Power Loss (voltage suit, if not recharged)

Power Loss (voltage suit, short-circuit if immersed in water)

Vulnerable (water, while wearing voltage suit)

Players should check with their GM about the values of any drawbacks selected.

As written the Electric Hero’s voltage suit is a complex piece of technology capable of numerous effects. Players may

wish to streamline the suit’s powers to free up points for additional Devices or to improve the archetype’s other traits. A good basic set

of powers is Dazzle, Electrical Control, Force Field, Strike (Aura) and/or Stun.

Players desiring additional flexibility may reduce the Electric Hero’s traits and use the points gained to make the suit’s powers dynamic, add additional

power feats (such as Extended Reach, Ricochet, and Split Attack), add Electrical Control alternate powers (Burst, Cloud, Cone, Explosion) and/or turn some of

the alternate powers into separate powers (i.e. Flight or Light Control).

Although it will require a more extensive rewrite of the suit’s capabilities, the Electric Hero’s suit could produce cold, plasma, heat, etc. instead of electrici-

ty; naturally, this would make the archetype the Cold Hero or Plasma Hero, etc.

As the archetype’s name suggests, the Fixer “fixes” things. Whether it is evicting

a drug dealer from an apartment building, getting a corrupt local official jailed,

or hiding an innocent from those that would harm them, the Fixer can get the

job done when others can’t or won’t thanks to the archetype’s extensive network

of contacts. But while the Fixer’s network can provide the archetype with every-

thing from advice and information to hands-on experts, it is still up to the Fixer

to put it all together and see that the job is done right.

Skills: Diplomacy 8 (+10), Disguise 8 (+10), Drive 4 (+6), Gather

G OING I N -D EPTH O N T HE F IXER

Given the Fixer’s extensive network the archetype is most likely a former (or still active) member of a top-secret government agency making use of agency

contacts, a reformed criminal calling on past associates (criminal or not), or a very wealthy and thus very well connected individual.

Note that, although the Fixer’s network can provide a wide array of assistance, the core of the network does not have to be very numerous at all since each

person in the network is likely to have his or her own network of contacts and connections (“Hey, can you help out a friend of mine?”).

It should be remembered that, as stated on p. 60 of Mutants & Masterminds , the GM has final say on what kind of help the Fixer’s network can provide.The

point of the Fixer’s Connected and Contacts feats is not to allow the Fixer to pick up the phone and have someone else complete the mission (which would be

boring in any case) but to provide key assistance to the Fixer so that the archetype can complete the mission.

Although the Fixer makes a great solo hero, the archetype also fits easily into a team; the Fixer’s network provides assistance to the team rather than just

the Fixer. In addition, if the Fixer picks up clients beyond those of the team these clients can serve as catalysts for adventures involving the entire team.

Highly trained, mentally conditioned, and equipped with advanced handgun

T HE M AKING OF A L AW O FFICER

The Futuristic Law Officer is a prototype, the product of the latest in law

enforcement theory and training, designed to deal with today’s more sophis-

ticated criminals. Alternatively the archetype is from the actual future, dis-

placed through some time/space accident to the present day; depending on

what this future is like the archetype may have a completely different out-

look on the meaning and execution of law enforcement. Finally, the Futuristic

Law Officer could be a technologically advanced alien present on the world

in either an official or unofficial capacity to thwart an alien invasion or to

catch an interstellar criminal.
