?'s about Physical Adepts Options

[Cyber Watcher]

Hoi Chummers

I use to skulk in the shadows during 1ed and 2ed. And enjoyed it very much, must admit never got to play 3ed.
So to my questions, I like to play Phys Ads, one of the things I remember from 2ed, was that it was difficult to keep up with the Samies, that in order to progress you had to initiate. And that was the end of your characters development, because the amount of Karma required to initiate, ment your stats/skills changed rarely if ever and that was if you were willing to take on some geas or other to cut the cost down.

Q1 Are the costs of the Adepts powers slightly better balanced so that the Adept and the Samie, are on similar initiative and skill levels assuming they took similar stats, skills and powers/cyber/bio.

Q2 Is Initiating slightly easier and/or cheaper, allowing the Phys Ad, to develop in a similar way to all the other characters. And maybe bond a weapon focus.

TIA


Yours Cyber Watcher
