What? 1 point of essence is 1 point of essence. You get 6 points total.

one point of essence is one point of essence, it doesn't translate anyplace. you need to explain what you are talking about. |

I think he is asking if 1 point is refeing to a whole number or a esoteric ammout of something. Yes it is a whole number and completely divisible down to .01. Metahumans start with 6 points.

In which case, the maximum Bio Index is a total equal to your Essence + 3.00

But for purposes of things like spell TNs (eg, the TN might be 10-ess) you be treated as though you just had 5 essence (giving a TN of 5, as opposed to 4, if you had no essence lost). TN = 4.2 doesn't make a lot of sense, unless you have some wacky dice.

I have seen 30 sided and 100 sided, and even a 34 sided, but never a 60 sided die, interesting idea though.
