Core Playbooks

Masks ships with ten core playbooks, each one a different angle on the question "who do you become when the world keeps trying to tell you who you are?"

• The Beacon — the powerless one with the comic-book dream.
• The Bull — the angry one, all body, afraid of becoming a monster.
• The Delinquent — the trickster nobody can pin down.
• The Doomed — the condemned hero burning toward a fated end.
• The Janus — the double life, civilian and cape both real.
• The Legacy — the inheritor of a name with too many ghosts.
• The Nova — the bomb on a timer, all power and no governor.
• The Outsider — the alien exile trying to learn Earth.
• The Protege — the apprentice with a mentor who will not let go.
• The Transformed — the new body, the changed face, the staring strangers.

Halcyon City Herald Collection adds adult playbooks — The Joined, The Innocent, The Star, The Reformed — plus more flexible options for established heroes who have already found their answer.
