Actually I thought that any magician who can astrally project can
manifest them selves in the physical. Which brings up another question;
When a projecting mage manifests, does he see with his astral sensing
(asensing) or can he see with more conventional senses.
Other than that, I think he is just about right for being a priority B
character. Adding other "special" combat abilities (other than the
OPTIONAL rule to essence loss) would just make him evem more powerful.
Anyway, I think I just about have the bugs worked out. I'll be posting it
when I have some time to re-type it all in.

Thanks for all the help guys,
Doug
