| Heroic Action Role-Play |
Gimmicks are nifty items that can help on an adventure, but usually have limited number of uses. Some heroes are known for having constant access to specific gimmicks while others have a utility belt or gimmick bag from which they can draw nearly everything. Each gimmick is a separate item, but a hero can have a supply of them
There are three types of gimmicks.
Most characters stay with one type of gimmicks, but some Gimmicks can be purchased in several different ways, trading variety for supply. You can purchase each schtick multiple times to gain multiple uses, but be careful about buying several different versions to avoid confusion.
- Flexible Gimmick Pool This allows you to once per session select any type of gimmick you could reasonably have access to and have a supply of that gimmick for the rest of that session.
- Gimmick Pool This allows you to two times per session select a gimmick, but these much come from one specific subtype of gimmicks (Alchemic Items, Gadgets, or Power Items) decided when the power is bought. You have a supply of the selected gimmicks for the rest of that session.
- Gimmick Supply Pool A gimmick pool (as above) consisting of three gimmicks all of the same subtype—each of these can only be used in one scene and are then expended until the next session.
- Gimmick Supply A supply of any four gimmicks selected when you take the schtick. These can be of any subtype, and you have The GM can allow substitutions, generally at the start of a session. Each of these can only be used in one scene and are then expended until the next session.
- Signature Gimmicks Any five gimmicks selected when you take the schtick. Each of these can only be used in one scene and are then expended until the next session. The GM can allow substitutions, generally at the start of a session.
- Signature Gimmicks Any six gimmicks from one specific subtype of gimmicks (Alchemic Items, Gadgets, or Power Items). Every item must be selected when you take the schtick. Your supply of each gimmick lasts for one scene. The GM can allow substitutions, generally at the start of a session.
