Pushing Automatic Actions


Listen Later

In this episode of Gotham & Beyond, I talk about one of the most cinematic rules in DC Heroes 3rd Edition, Pushing Automatic Actions. This is where your hero digs deep, straining every ounce of their power to do the impossible. We’ll walk through exactly how it works, what the costs are, and why it’s not something you should throw around lightly. From the raw tension of a “burnout” to the thrill of a last-second success, Pushing adds drama to your game in a way that fits right alongside the best comic book moments. I share the book’s Aqualad tank-lifting example and expand with my own scenarios so you can see how it plays out at the table. Whether you’re a GM looking to stage heroic challenges or a player hoping for that one unforgettable scene, this episode will show you how to make Pushing Automatic Actions shine in your sessions.
