Create Stunts (Action)

Heroic Action Role-Play

Main article: Action

The most important Create stunt is Tinkering, a whole complex of rules covering almost any build or repair situation, but there are other stunts you can do using Create. These stunts assume you have (or improvise) the relevant tools for the job.

Break Object

Basic Action

Make a Create roll against the Toughness of an object to break it. To do this, the object must be stationary relative to you; you may have to use other skills (like Maneuver) to get into position. You need appropriate tools to break an object this way (this can be another power with the GM's approval) and, depending on the tools used, you usually need to be adjacent to your target as well.

Breaking & Entering

Basic Action

You can try and disarm security measures of all types: locks, alarms and traps. You can use your Create skill to bypass or disable them. It is generally fairly easy to bypass security devices once they have been spotted. You are normally assumed to use improvised tools like hairpins for this, a proper security kit can be stowed in a utility belt or small bag and allows a retry (see below).

Safe	Difficulty
Simple security, typical interior door or cabinet	6
Basic security, typical home or small business	9
Good security	12
High-grade security, typical bank office	15
Basic store safe, security locker	18
Bank safe	21
Bank vault	24
Infamous bank vault	27
Legendary bank vault	30

A failed roll means you need some new method, gear or information to bypass a lock or trap. On an alarm or trap, it means that the situation escalated; you can try again, but a second failure indicates the device triggers.

Demolish

Limit Break

Make a Create roll against the Toughness of an object to destroy it utterly. Even on a failed result, the Toughness of the object is reduced by one.

You need appropriate tools to demolish an object (this can be another power with the GM's approval) and, depending on the tools used, you usually need to be adjacent to your target as well.

If the object is stationary relative to you, double the result of your Create roll. You may have to use other skills like Maneuver to get into such a position.

Examine

Basic Action Break

You search an area with a diameter equal to your Mind, looking for hidden dangers and devices. You automatically find all things a normal Recon roll can find - normal concealed objects, improvised traps, doors, and other things that could be found with a quick Scan are obvious to an Examination. You can also carefully hidden devices such as advanced traps and secret doors with an opposed Create check.

Repair

Limit Break

Make a Create roll against the Body of a damaged item to restore it to full (if sometimes temporary) functionality. For personal gear, this is the Body they were designed for (usually the Body of the user or wearer). This applies to relatively simple repairs, more complex tasks should use the Tinkering rules.
