Agreed. To be as good a mage as the party mage AND as good a PA as the
party physad, you need quite a bit of initiation. And doubtless they'll
be initiating too, putting the "catch-up" mark further out of your
reach.
To be a bit more eloquent: Phys Mages are, as many have said, a nice
middle ground rather than the best of both worlds. They allow you a
nicely customisable character, while limiting the available power. Sure,
a PhysMage with enough karma can do ANYTHING any other character can do
(including summoning a nature spirit if you allow certain
highly-disputed edges), but that's a lot of karma. In the meantime,
they're fun characters to play. Our group has had two: I played an
ex-army Physical Sorceror Adept, and we currently have a Physical Snake
Shaman called Hissy Fit^H^H^H^H^H^H Backstrike. Sorry Guardian. :)
