Valiant Adventures: Hero's Handbook

This core rulebook for a superhero roleplaying game set in the Valiant Universe lets players create original heroes or portray established characters such as Bloodshot, Faith, and X-O Manowar. It uses the Mutants & Masterminds rules system, with flexible character creation, a wide range of powers, skills, and advantages, and cinematic action resolved with a single 20-sided die. The book includes Hero Points for influencing the story, quick archetypes for nanite-infused warriors, armored champions, psiots, and other heroes, plus guidance for Gamemasters creating adventures and ongoing series.
