Actually, Yah know what? looking at the totem descripts might be
helpful... the Totems are based on the animal's characteristics so
checking them out might be good for insight ... unfortunately there is no
canon Tiger Totem (AFAIK) would Jaguar be similar?
Also, the way I saw the bestial nature interfering with undercover ops is
while undercover, you usually want to be inconspicuous and it's kinda
hard to that when ya shred the first twerp that steps on your feet ...
(I'm exagerating, but hopefully you get my point ...) ... of course that
depends on where you're going undercover ... I had a corp in mind ... :)

Yeah, I agree, though Wolverine isn't really a good example ... Marvel
makes his abilities vary too much ;) However I had in mind something
similar to Wolvie after he went feral (although I hadn't thought of it in
those terms :)

I know ... that statement was refferring to that there are some people
allow cyber but AFAIK, most of the list members don't go for it :) ...
btw, I DID create a house rule and think I balanced it out but nobody
will tell me one way or another ... is this a touchy issue? (I notice you
seem to want to stay away from it :)

hmmm... drugs would have a very different results than cyber ... cyber
you could have the push of the button control ... those that are only
under control because they're under the effects of drugs tend to be
sluggish (AFAIK/IMO) ... Also the Azzies would prolly use something with
lethal withdrawl effects ...
