Bedlam is a deeply troubled metropolis, riven by economic hardship, corruption, and dark occult activities. It is set in Bedlam, the City of Nowhere (AKA the City of Rust). Bedlam: Designed by James Thomson for Plain Brown Wrapper Games, the setting harkens back to the Iron Age of Comics, with more mature-themed characters, situations, and scenarios.The role of the federal government and the legal system in dealing with 'Neos' is also given in greater depth. The campaign world was further detailed in the Dawn of Legends sourcebook, which expanded the setting beyond the city of Autumn Arbor to include superhuman activities in nations such as China, Cuba, Germany, Japan, Mexico and others,including alterations in world history/world events outside the United States. The Autumn Arbor Campaign Setting was a 2008 Origins Awards semi-finalist. Szczepanik, Jr., Autumn Arbor co-creator. The setting is also supported by a novel line the first of which, Little Girl Lost, was written by Lee F. Autumn Arbor takes place in a world where the laws and legal systems have evolved to handle the often ignored nuances of the comic book genre, and where the characters are depicted as real people beneath the costumes and powers, often with real-life issues such as parenting and addiction. Autumn Arbor: This setting, from Arbor Productions (purchased by Daring Entertainment in 2009 and re-released under the title 'Dawn of Legends' with several new rules and character options), details a world where super-beings (called 'Neos') have existed publicly since World War II.Accumulated damage applies a penalty to further saves, increasing the chances of any given attack knocking out the character. Success allows the character to shrug off the attack with minimal effect, while failure results in injury according to the degree of failure and the type of damage.
When a character is struck by an attack, he or she rolls a toughness save against a target number equal to the rank of the attack plus 15. For example, a fairly fit but normal human may throw a punch that inflicts +1N (non-lethal) damage, while the irradiated simian mastermind with enhanced strength and razor-sharp claws throws out +12L (lethal) damage. Instead, damaging attacks are ranked based upon their overall power. Weapons and powers that do lethal and subdual damage do not roll any dice to determine damage. Instead, characters have a fourth saving throw called the 'toughness save' which is based on their Constitution scores, like the fortitude save. Damage in M&M is handled differently as well.
