<<The entire edges/flaws table is completely messed up. I cant think of a
single character I wouldnt pay 3 edge points to give astral perception
for example.>>
I can. Almost any adept (physads especially). This is remedied by the
rules Mr. Kenson posted to us a while back, but I think it should be
possible for most (but not all, physads should not be allowed access to
things like Astral Sight:) characters should have access to them (this is
related to my own Combo'd adepts stuff:)
<<The point system can be used to severely abuse the rules. Why should a
samauri with .0001 essence be able to do anything magical?>>
He shouldn't, and there's an easy fix: when Magic equals 0 (or, at the
least, when Essence is less than 1), the character _cannot_ use magic.
Period. It's simple, and it works. Such a character can no longer channel
enough energy with their astral template (see explanation in
Cybertechnology) to create any magical effect, hence the Magic Rating of
0. I'd be willing to allow a character with a Magic Rating of 0 to use
magic, but only so long as their Essence is at least equal to 1.
