Class Sheet Overview

Class Sheet Structure

A character class in Mutants & Masterminds defines the fundamental archetype and capabilities of your hero. Each class page provides essential information organized into standardized sections that help you understand how to build and play that type of character.

Understanding Class Structure​

Every class in M&M follows a consistent format that makes it easy to compare options and understand what each class brings to your team. The class sheet is divided into several key sections, each serving a specific purpose in character creation and gameplay.

Core Class Components​

The following sections appear on every class page and provide the mechanical foundation for your character:

Hit Point Die​

Determines your character's base health and survivability. This die type affects how many hit points you gain each level and establishes your overall durability in combat situations.

Saving Throw Proficiencies​

Specifies which types of saves your class excels at making. These proficiencies represent your character's natural resistance to specific types of threats and effects.

Weapon Proficiencies​

Lists the weapons and equipment your class is trained to use effectively. These proficiencies determine what gear you can wield without penalties and shape your combat options.

Tool Proficiencies​

Specifies the specialized tools and professional equipment your class is trained to use. These proficiencies reflect your character's background, crafting abilities, and practical skills beyond combat.

Starting Equipment​

Details the initial gear, resources, and possessions your character begins play with. This equipment reflects your class's background and provides the tools needed for early adventures.

Using This Information​

When creating a character, these sections work together to establish your hero's baseline capabilities. Your class choice determines not just your mechanical abilities, but also suggests narrative elements about your character's training, background, and role within a superhero team.

Each section builds upon the others to create a cohesive character concept that's both mechanically sound and narratively compelling. Take time to understand how these elements interact to make the most of your class choice.
