Welcome aboard, waster!

I asked that very question myself when it came out. I pulled Shane's answer 
from Elric's archives (www.deadlands.com). Here ya go:

{{{<< The power Telekinesis (BB page 79) has a Strain listing of "Special," 
but
 there is no other information that I can find in the rest of the book to tell
 me how to determine it. Presumably it has to do with how much the thing
you're
 moving weighs. I've been really bad at guessing Strain costs for other
powers,
 so I don't have a clue as to what the scales are for this one.
 
 Help?

I think we're calling it 3. That was my mistake folks. It's supposed to go up
on the Brainburners errata page asap.
