I ntroductIon

This Mutants & Masterminds supplement offers players and

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

level (PL 6-8) games set in Freedom City. All archetypes include

the full stats and backgrounds specific to Freedom City. Although

designed specifically for Freedom City street-level games the

archetypes are also useful for Gamemasters in need of some NPC

street-level villains or heroes (for any level game) and for players

and Gamemasters of the upcoming Hero High (where they can

represent incoming Freshmen); just give them some appropriate

names and backgrounds and they’re ready to go.

Skills are listed with the number of ranks after the skill name

and the total skill bonus listed in parenthesis. For example: Bluff 5

(+8) means the archetype 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, the default

starting level for a street-level game; games taking place at a high-

er PL will require adjustments to the archetypes such as assigning

additional points to attack and defense bonuses, power ranks,

skills, feats, etc. within the themes established for each archetype.

Note that several archetypes use the Attack/Defense trade-off rule

to adjust their maximum attack, damage, defense, and Toughness

save bonuses, as determined by their power level.

Archetype Listing

The following archetypes make their appearance in this

supplement:

Armed Citizen – not going to wait on the heroes.

Da Sihing – Master Lee’s top student.

Emerging Mutant – coming into one’s powers isn’t easy.

Enduring Guardian – truly going beyond the call of duty.

Farsider Emigrant – protecting his adopted home.

Field Researcher – archaeology in the World of Freedom is

unlike anything else.

Superpowered Orphan – who did she get her powers from?

Technology Geek – makes use of thematic gadgets.

Transformed Bystander – an innocent bystander no longer.

Zoom Survivor – sometimes an overdose gives you

superpowers.

You’d think in a city filled with superheroes and virtually every law

enforcement agency in the world there wouldn’t be much of a need for

an ordinary citizen to take up arms. But you’d be wrong. While your fel-

low Freedonians go about their lives believing some superhero or cop

is going to bail them out whenever there’s a problem you know better;

there’s plenty of stuff going down they can’t or won’t deal with.

Given Freedom City’s colorful

past and present almost any

weapon imaginable might

find its way into your hands:

You follow your own code of justice which could be as elaborate as the

codes of bushido or chivalry or as simple as “an eye (or more) for an eye”.

You fight with anything available to you, be it stuff form your old job,

store-bought weapons, or things picked up from the streets. You may

“gift-wrap” the criminals for the police or leave them lying dead in your

wake. In short, you do whatever it takes (and you can live with) to make

a difference and if that rubs the “authorities” or “heroes” the wrong way,

tough. ‘Cause down here in the trenches, you gotta do what you gotta

do.

• An Omegadrone

Power Pike.

• A blaster pistol or

rifle.

• An experimen-

tal weapon.

• A weapon

left behind

by an individual

such as Fear Master, the

Silencer, Toy Boy et al.

You’re the ex-cop or former agent who got fed-up with the politics in

your old job. You’re the retired Special Forces grunt or former bodyguard

who just can’t let go. You’re the reformed hitman or rueful assassin aton-

ing for past crimes. You’re the ordinary person who isn’t going to take it

anymore. You’re exactly who this city needs.

If you have one of these weapons you will have to adjust your

traits to free up the necessary points; some may come with

built-in complications depending on the possessiveness of their

previous owners.

You are the Da Sihing (or Da Sizhe), the most senior student

at Master Lee’s School of Self Defense. It is your responsi-

bility, along with your fellow sihing and sizhe, to teach

the sidai and simui, the younger students of the

school. But unlike your fellow students your respon-

sibilities do not end when the school closes for the

day; as the Da Sihing/Sizhe you are the master’s

apprentice, his chosen successor, the designated

heir to all his knowledge and wisdom.

Being the master’s apprentice is both a great responsibility and

a great challenge. Time and again you have had to prove yourself

worthy of his teachings, and not just in the dojo; you’ve had opportunity

to put the master’s teachings into practice on the streets of Freedom

City.

Master Lee’s knowledge is vast;

change your feats and powers

to put emphasis on different

aspects of the martial arts.

Possible additional/sub-

stitute powers include

Boost, Concealment,

Deflect, Drain, Elongation,

Healing, Immovable,

Immunity, Leaping, Luck

Control, Nauseate, Protection,

Speed, Stun, Super-Senses

(Awareness). You may even wish to

eliminate your powers altogether and

replace them with additional feats if

the master feels you are not ready

for them yet or does not actually

have powers himself.

Still, despite passing every test, you feel Master Lee is holding something

back. You sense it in the way he continuously emphasizes the need to

use your skills responsibly and see it in the pensive look he occa-

sionally gets when he watches you train. And while you have

too much respect for the master to press him on the issue,

you can’t help but wonder just what it is.

Although it is assumed you have basic

control over your powers, this may

not be the case. Flaws such as Action,

Distracting, Side-Effect,

"I didn't

ask for

these

powers!"

One day your life was normal and the next day it wasn’t. Sure, there’s

more to it than that, but no matter what your story the fact remains you

are not who you were, and that's a big change to cope with. Fortunately

you’re in Freedom City, a place where people like you can find more help

and support in dealing with these tremendous changes than anywhere

else in the world.

While your mutation most likely manifested itself when you were a teen,

this isn’t a hard and fast rule; your powers might not have emerged until

you were older, perhaps much older (nothing like having your powers

surface when you’re already collecting social security). What time in life

your powers manifest makes a difference as to your other traits; the older

you are the more your other traits will have developed. Drop points from

your powers and add them to other traits, especially skills and abilities,

to reflect your physical and mental maturity and life experiences.
