One thing I did, as I mentioned before, was to set a Priority A
requirement for Shadowtech, and sourcebooks like it. It works well, for
you don't get magicians starting out with a ton of bioware, or a Sammy
with maxed attributes with bioware to add a ton to it at startup. If the
char wants a ton of toys, they get A. I only have one power-gamer in my
group, and his chars often have A, but since I often include a background
for it(he ran from a corp, or stole it from them, or whatever...;)
