This reminds me. Does anyone besides me think it exceptionally odd that in
the point system you can have an adept with a significantly greater number of
starting force points than a full-blown magician can possibly obtain? I've
got a GM who won't use the point based system(says it leads to power-gaming,
but I don't see it), but to my mind, this is a significant flaw in that I can
have quite a few more spells than a more talented magician.
Also, for those of you who (are crazy enough, IMNSHO, to) allow expenditure
of force points for initiating, and since you can buy more force in the point
generation system, what's your response to a physad blowing build points on
force to start as an initiate?
