Editing SPOILER: Taking an Active Role (section)

==Miscellaneous==

The last category is a mixture of all those other organizations that went unnamed above. These include the Veterans’ Administration, Amnesty International, the United Way, etc. In addition, heroes can volunteer for local libraries, historical foundations, and museums. Ways to help can be a mixture from ways mentioned above to helping diagnose a new disease genetically engineered by a supervillain.

Besides dealing with problems nationally, heroes also can have an effect on the international scene. The area where heroes can best be used is international relief. On a local level, heroes can collect food and supplies to be sent to a country that is suffering from shortages due to war, drought, famine, etc. If a hero is involved in the International Red Cross, the Red Crescent, CARE, UNICEF, or a multitude of branches of the United Nations she could be sent to a country to help distribute aid, as well as protect those administrating it.

Heroes assigned to these missions would be at more risk than those working with programs at home. Heroes could be attacked by super-powered people in the country’s government who resent foreign “interference.” They also could be attacked by various political or military factions. Being an international hero gets the character (and the player) involved directly with the situation, and all the participants in it. An adventure could be created when the U.N. sends the PCs to a war-ravaged area to help distribute food and they are attacked by supervillains hired by one of the military factions or by the military itself.
