Quick question. It seems to me an adept can buy replacement cyber ears and eyes for much less than one essence point (I think you can throw in a smartlink on top too). He can then load them up with all the fancy mods (thermo, low light, flare comp, etc), and then geasa the point of adept power lost. On the other hand, to load up with the smae asept sense powers would cost was more than 1 power point, which can't be geasa'd back.
So, what am I missing? There must be some advantage to the "natural" adept powers. Can somebody fill me in? |
