I knew I forgot one question when I was retyping that post yesterday!

If a physad character purchased a particular improved sense more than
once (spending 0.5 or more magic points on improved taste/smell/whatever)
would it give the character a really-really-really-enhanced sense? How
would the game mechanics work?

I just wouldn't allow it. That might just be me though.

That sounds kind of like buying cybernetic low light vision (or such)
twice. You can do it, but there is no effect- except one. If the cyber
takes damage (or you loose the power somehow) you would have a "back up".
There are some cases where you can / must buy multiple levels. Vision
magnification can be handled this way. On the other hande the "olfactory
booster" comes in levels, but "enhanced sense: smell" is just a single
"flat
cost" power.
