Setting the Stage New Setting Rules in Savage Worlds.

Heroes of Cinema  

Ever feel at times staring Savage Worlds pc's are not as bad ass as you would like? Ever want to do a game that's closer to a movie in over the top action than normal games? If so I have a couple of options you might wish to look at below....

Cinematic Hero

A cinematic hero gains the following additional resources during Character Creation:

+2 Attribute Points

+2 Edges

+5 Skill Points

Dark Hero

PC may take an additional Major and two (2) additional Minor Hindrances for Hindrance Points.

Experienced Hero

Gain 20xp and with it 4 advances starting play as a seasoned PC.

Super Normal

Instead of receiving the Arcane Background (Superpowers) your hero instead gains a number of Hindrance Points equal to the number of Super Power points given by the Rising Star option of the player's power lever. Pulp will give 5, Street Fighters 10, Four Color 20, Heavy Hitters 30, and Cosmic 50! Please note the hero may NOT take the Arcane Background (Superpowers) at a later date. Remember in most Savage Super Games the only Arcane Background is Superpowers so spend those points wisely because you most likely got no powers to back you up.  However if the Super Karma rule is in play a super normal may take the extra Major Hindrance for 2 more Hindrance Points as normal regardless of power level.

And a special note if you own a copy of the Savage Setting Slip Stream from Pinnacle Entertainment the Heroism Setting rule is always a great one to throw into almost any game.
