TRIPLE THREAT

The henshin is a formidable opponent on their own.
When their powerful abilities are fully realized and
used in combination with their team, they become
the stuff of legends. Users wanting to play a
bombastic and unique class are encouraged to
choose this one. While not required for play, it is
strongly recommended that you spend time to
think about witty one-liners to deliver to your foes,
just before their defeat.

PRE-GEN CHARACTER

You can make a henshin quickly by following these
suggestions. First, Dexterity should be your highest
ability score, followed by Charisma. Second, choose
the Rebel background.

VARIANT GIGA-XORD RULES

Power henshin and their Exo-Xords possess the unique ability to combine their forces into a massive robot warrior,
called a Giga-Xord. To do this, a power henshin leader must be chosen, their stats become the basis for the Giga-
Xord. Combining the Exo-Xords into the Giga-Xord takes an action. If 3 or 4 Exo-Xords combine, the size of the Giga-
Xord becomes huge. If 5 to 6 combine (the maximum possible) their size becomes Gargantuan. The Strength,
Dexterity, and Constitution scores of the mech are equal to the leader’s + 2 for each Exo-Xord in the combination,
to a maximum of 30. The hit points of the Giga-Xord is equal to the combined total hit points of all Exo-Xords when
the Giga-Xord is created. A Giga-Weapon is chosen (by party consensus), it has the normal stats of any weapon
except its reach is 15 feet (huge mech) or 30 feet (gargantuan mech) and the damage dice are doubled + 1 extra
damage dice for each Exo-Xord in the combination. Its speed is 60. All ability checks or saving throws can be made
by the power henshin in the group with the highest bonus. Either the leader can decide on every movement or the
entire team is given 60 seconds of real time to decide their actions for that turn. If no action is decided upon, the
Xord takes the Dodge action. If the Giga-Xord is reduced to 0 hit points, all Xords are reverted to their normal
forms and unconscious, the power henshin are ejected and must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw, DC 15, or
take 6d6 bludgeoning damage from the ejection.

CREATING A HOLO-KNIGHT background.

When choosing a holo-knight make sure you
consider their background. Such power often
corrupts its wielders, but not always. Did your
character decide on this path to fulfill a vengeful
vendetta? Did they want to use the power to
protect a loved one or precious artifact? Who did
they learn these abilities from? Were they self-
taught or did they have a benevolent or tortuous
master? How many failures did they endure before
they became the competent character you have
chosen? Think about these things as you build your
character.
