Values
d4 - "I'm really not into this"
d6- "Sure this thing matters, so do a lot of things."
d8- "This is definitely on my radar"
d10- "I'm all over this thing"
d12- "This is my heart and soul"
During CC- You build up die toward one of six values: Duty,Glory, Justice, Love, Power, and Truth.
You also put a defining statement behind each. Your character's specific meaning of that value. Your character's specific meaning of say Duty.
Clark example
I assume the Blur is a secret identity he took up like Cartman's The Coon.
Values are brought into play when your character wants to do something. Basically it's why you are doing something that is important . For example
Example: Let’s say Clark’s trying to stop Plastique from
blowing up a Metropolis building. The first question is, “Why
is Clark doing this?” We can argue a few things:
▼▼ Duty—Clark knows his parents—both Kryptonian and
human—want him to do the right thing.
▼▼ Glory—If people see the Blur saving a building, they
will have hope.
▼▼ Justice—By stopping Plastique, Clark is protecting
innocent people.
▼▼ Love—If some of Clark’s friends are in the building, he
can argue that he’s protecting his friends.
▼▼ Power—If Plastique is corrupted by her power, she
needs to be stopped.
▼▼ Truth—By blowing up this building, Plastique could
expose some dangerous truth to the world that will cause
even greater chaos and harm.
Changing your value: If you come to a crisis point and need to change your view on things. You can at a bit of a cost and one awesome moment. You gain three times the dice of your value during one scene, but then take a step back for the rest of an episode (which is basically a session). So a d8 would become a d6 after rolling three more d8s.
example
Example: Clark’s cornered Plastique in the parking structure
of the LuthorCorp building. She tells Clark that she and the
other metahumans who Tess Mercer has had “chipped” are
living on borrowed time. If Clark can tell her where to find
Tess, she’ll go off and take care of it herself. In this case, Clark
wants to convince Plastique that she should let him deal with
Tess. He knows she’s out for blood, so what Value is he using
here? It isn’t really about protecting the innocent—Clark knows
Tess is guilty. It’s not really about safeguarding his friends and
family, since right now Tess is more of an antagonist than an
ally. Cam, Clark’s player, decides to make this about Power,
saying that Clark can convince Plastique that with his abilities
he has a better chance of taking on Tess’ significant security and
resources. But this is in opposition to Clark’s Power corrupts
statement—he’s trying to tell her that his superior power
actually makes him better capable of dealing with this. Cam
takes up three six-sided dice and adds them to his pool for this
roll, but he also has to step back his Power to d4 until the end
of the episode.
Relationships
Have die ratings as well. You usually sum it up in one succinct. One short sentence "The love of my life. " " I cant stand to be around him." "He ruined me." etc.
You can challenge and rewrite a relationship like a Value.
Here are some examples the game uses
▼▼ I can barely tolerate him.
▼▼ She used to be so nice.
▼▼ I must make it up to him.
▼▼ She’s my best friend.
▼▼ He deserves my support.
▼▼ She’s just a silly rich girl.
▼▼ He must pay for his crimes.
▼▼ She has gone too far.
▼▼ He needs me to take care of him.
▼▼ She is stone cold.
▼▼ He’s easy to manipulate.
▼▼ I like her more now…
▼▼ He doesn’t understand my vision of the world.
▼▼ She needs to get her head in the game.
▼▼ I wouldn’t let anything hurt him.
▼▼ She’s someone I can trust.
▼▼ He’ll never change.
▼▼ If this keeps up, I’m going to kill her!
▼▼ He’s about the dumbest person I’ve ever met.
▼▼ She has a good head on her shoulders.
