Please tell me you are joking. Please tell me you are merely stating this as
an exercise for the reader. Please say that you would never do this in an
actual gaming session. Beta Cyber? Delta? Making orichalcum? LAUNCH
WEAPONS? (actually... I kinda like the launch weapons. :-P) I fear for the
kind of campaign you are describing, I really do... too much power for me
(and I've been playing for 8 years). I especially like the comment of
"start initiating fast", because it sounded like an oxymoron to me... to get
initiate grade 1 alone would require at least 3 or 4 runs under the
character's belt.
