Actually, I don't think that's a new rule, I have used that one before
and I've only played SR2. Perhaps we made it up, but I think it was in
the rules somewhere. I personally liked the idea, as after a few
initiation levels, you get to the point that there is not many other
things you can do, unlike mages, who have lots of metaplanes, etc.
Besides, it is an expensive tradeoff, and Initiate levels do more for
the personality of the character. Guess it would really depend on how
fast the character accumulates karma.
