No rule that I've heard of or read. From what I remember the rules just say
you keep getting actions, one every 10 phases, until the intiative count goes
to zero. SRI had a 4 action rule, but not SRII.

Of course to get more than 4 actions requires an initiative roll of 41. That's
damn hard to get without deserving the title of MunchKing.

Nope. Physical Adept with Reaction 8, +3D6 Initiative has a max
Initiative of 26. Send him into Astral Space via a Spirit Power and he
gets +15 to his Initiative in Astra Combat. That's a max Initiative of
41 without being MunchKing.

Yeah, but everybody has a high initiative on the astral plane. But if they do
it on the physical plane, their the MunchKing.

Oh, isn't in interesting that astrally projecting mages are the fastest thing
in astral space. Faster than spirits they be.
