Since it's around Halloween, Need a bit of help with a bloodsucker. Options

[ElFenrir]

Alrighty, so, I finally decided to build a Vampire Adept. I had to see what could happen with the tasty, tasty magic boosts. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) Also, being Halloween, I felt it appropriate.

Problem is, there's a few things I'm unclear on.





1. Adept Powers. Anything beyond the starting magic can get boosted up with Essence Drain. Would it be unreasonable to have a ''list'' of powers that he activates if his Magic is boosted high enough? Sort of like:

Basic Powers: Insert 5 points worth.
Magic 6: Add Critical Strike 1(.25), Penetrating Strike 3(.75)
Magic 7: Add Smashing Blow
Magic 8: Add Critical Strike 2, Combat Sense 1

and so on. Now, of course I know he can purchase Initiations and Magic up normally as well, but the Essence Attribute Boost is separate from this.

2. Now, in the book, you don't have to pay for race using the Karma method which we do; but Infected is a quality. So I pay the 100 karma as normal, correct?

3. At the same time, he's a Human base. Does he start with 2 edge as a human, or does the bloodsucker in him count him as ''infected'' racially and he starts with 1?

4. His Essence starts at 5, but the book says he can drain up to twice his natural maximum(from 6 to 12.) So his Essence actually has a 6 max, and he just starts with 5?

That should be it. I'm picking out skills, attributes, and regular qualities now, going very basic for the martial-arts type classic physad. I'll be able to have him up for critique after I found out these few things, which I seem to be blind and missing from the RC.
