So for a 12D6 game, where your normal character is going to have around an 8 OCV/DCV and 5 or 6 Speed, 25-30 Def and 40 Stun, they might look something like this (5th edition rules):īody 10 (once you get past their defenses, they break easy) They aren't as tough as pure bricks, but are tougher than energy blasters/martial artists. They're dangerous on offense but easy to hit. Likewise they should have a wide range of sensory abilities to detect Invisible characters and the like. Rely on pseudo-real world attacks instead of Star Trek colored lights (i.e., a gas attack could theoretically affect most Desolid characters, as they still need to breath - so use that instead of some ghostbusters energy beam). Sentinels are expected to fight all different sorts of mutants. Give them a range of attacks that would be useful against different character types. You don't have to worry about building them as Automatons, just do them as normal characters and give them a Disadvantage 'destroyed when reduced to 0 Stun'. My preferred version is that a lone Sentinel is more powerful than an individual hero, but their tactics are fairly simple and they don't travel in as large a group as the PCs do. So the first step is to decide which of these you want to emulate. Sometimes the X-Men would have to team up to defeat a single Sentinel, sometimes each X-Man could take out one or more on their own.

Build your Sentinels to the desired power level compared to your PC group. I'd suggest something like this for general guidelines:
