Re[2]: [BNW] What (if anything) will YOU do?

Hello!

After 4 days of constant stress at the largest international games
fair in the world, it's time to rear my head again (Yes, Cameron, I
will put up all the new stuff you sent me ;-)).

IMHO Alphas are not meant to be balanced. Those are the Uber-Deltas to
shape stories with. If PCs get to that level, have them start with
a few more powerpackages and see how they deal.

If anybody takes more of the same and improves on their status (for
example as an alpha-blaster) make their awesome abilities tougher.
Rules for that would be interesting.

Otherwise, have them discover more and more talents over time, if they
have the genes. That way your npc-alphas can't be calculated in their
powers and therefore might put some genuine fear and doubt into your
players hearts.

Just my 2 cents.
