Archetype and Class are the hero-defining elements in Everyday Heroes. This is what separates the average person on the street from the hero who saves the day. Archetype defines their approach to heroism while class is what they specialize in.
A hero’s Background is something in their past that created a lasting impression on who they are today. It could represent the culture they grew up in, their hobbies and passions, or a single event that changed their life forever.
A hero’s Profession is their day job, what they do to make a living in the world. This is the everyday part of Everyday Heroes. But whether they work as a fry cook or a special forces operative, their Profession gives them both spending-money and unique talents.
Equipment covers all the fun tools and toys a hero might need. Everyday Heroes covers everything from the mundane to the insane when it comes to weapons, armor, tools, and other goodies. So heroes, get your credit cards out and let’s start shopping!
A hero's Origin defines their intrinsic potential. The default Origin for Everyday Heroes is the Human Origin which we all share. Origins set out rules for generating a hero's ability scores and sometimes offer special traits like darkvision or even immortality!
Feats are a hero’s special sauce. They let heroes of any stripe choose how to specialize or diversify their heroic talents as they level up. With Feats, you can grab talents from any other Archetype or Class, as well as talents found nowhere else in the game.
