Savage Worlds Super Powers Companion (2nd Ed)

ADD TO WISHLIST >

(This book is for the Savage World's Explorer Edition. A new version for the Savage Worlds Adventure Edition can be found here. The new book is twice the size of this edition and includes a host of new material and all new art.)

It takes more than a cape and a costume to be a hero. It takes guts, determination, and the willingness to sacrifice. It takes even more to be a super hero. For with these amazing powers comes the responsibility to stand up to the greatest evils, protect the oppressed, and occasionally, save the world.

…or rule it!

The Savage Worlds Super Powers Companion (Second Edition) contains new Edges and Hindrances, Setting Rules like Death & Defeat and Power Stunts, gear, rules for headquarters, a rogue’s gallery of insidious villains, and of course a host of streamlined super powers ready for action.

This is a newer edition of the Super Powers Companion from the original. It’s a comprehensive update of the original with significant new material. Soon after it debuts, we’ll have a free list of the most important changes for owners of the original edition.

The Super Powers Companion requires the Savage Worlds core rules to play.

I don't suppose you have an update on this book do you?

Hi! We launched the new edition on our website, www.peginc.com. We just released the "alpha" (as of 10/19/2021) and are gathering feedback for a couple of weeks before we put it up for sale here on DTRPG and send it to the printer. I'll update the descriptive text above to reflect that this is the Explorer's Edition version.

Hi Shane, just to be clear, is the new SWADE edition replacing this one (ie. a purchase here will update to the SWADE version) or should we be hoarding our dollars for the new (separate) version?

It's an all new edition, I'm afraid. This one will remain for those who want to stick with the previous edition of Savage Worlds.

I got an email saying the pdf for the book is ready for download but it's a pdf for the core rule book, am I missing something?

Had this been updated for SWADE yet? I have the Deluxe version as a hard copy and it clashes quite a bit with SWADE.

This is for the previous edition of Savage Worlds. A new edition of the Super Powers Companion will be released in 2021. Further details will be available when we get closer to release.

Is this companion for the new Adventure Edition rules or an older one?

It's for Deluxe, but according to Shane, the upcoming update for SWADE will be minimal.

That's the plan, but so I don't mislead anyone, it *might* be more than I think. I won't know for sure until I dig into it officially, which hasn't started yet.

Update: While the basics are the same, the changes are substantial...about like Savage Worlds Deluxe to SWADE.

So basically if I only have this version and want to run a superhero game with SWADE, this version is useless? Or can it still work fine with just one or two minor tweaks?

SWADE really just adds a few extra rules you can tack on to anything (Test and Support), so absolutely. You'll have to wing a few things here and there, but honestly, everything we've *ever* made is easy to run with the current edition...from our book (Evernight) on.

An awesome and easy to adapt system for making balanced superheroic play. Check out my full talk on Facebook at Comics, Clerics, & Controllers. https://www.facebook.com/northernmountainnerd/videos/338512716919141/

I like this book but I thinks there is missing powers who appears frequently in comics like space flight, regeneration from death, time travel, dimensional travel.

And there is no rules to create powers so I don't know how much power points would cost these powers. There will be a supplement book for powers ?

My biggest issue with the previous edition and NE was the big dice pools and exploding die values would make some challenges either too easy or bizarre. Has there been any rebalancing of the math behind how powers work?

You took the words out of my mouth. Really wanted to like NE, but ranged was a crazy unbalanced powerhouse compared to melee. 1 blaster could dish out tons more damage than a player made "Hulk" could.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
