[BNW] PC Regs/Delta Offspring/Delta Animals [Matt]

[Walter Carter <ever_defiant@yahoo.com>]

Have a couple of questions about how people are
handling things in there individual campaigns. I'm
also interested in hearing Matt's "official" answers
on the subjects...

Do PC Regs get Delta Points? The player that chooses
to run a Reg instead of a Delta has a tougher road
ahead. No power package, only general tricks, max
attributes even with experience is 5 (fortunately
skills should have unlimited growth potential); but
that really doesn't seem to balance out with the
upside of being free from persecution for not being a
Delta. Add to that not having the bonus of Delta
Points and the Reg Hero seems to have one foot in the
grave...speaking of which...

What are the odds of a PC Reg awakening when "killed"?
Are there any circumstance which would affect the odds
of it happening? I would think the odds of a PC Reg
awakening would be substantially higher than normal (1
in 6, maybe 1 in 3?)...I feel all PC's to some extent
are "Destined for Greatness", the stories weaved in a
RPG all revolve around the player characters after
all. And it wouldn't necessarily seem unnatural in
character, for nobody in Crescent City can tell who is
a PC and who is a NPC. And would you be more likely to
awaken in a traumatic or stressful situation, which
are more likely encountered while adventuring? 

What kind of offspring do Deltas have? Reg/Delta/Both?
They've been around for a long time now...so there's
probably been plenty of study (and children to test).
Do Delta Powers act like positive or recessive traits,
or do they not act like genetically inherited
characteristics at all? We've made great strides in
mapping the human genome, I doubt the Brave New World
is any different.

And lastly, have there ever been any recorded cases of
animals with Delta powers? I would think it unusual
for humans to be the only creatures on earth
exhibiting unexplained abilities, but then again we
still don't know the source of Delta Powers...
