Ive been thinking about this, for those who might want to try and find a
middle ground. Some of these things can be simulated with the system as it
is. For truely remarkable stunts ala a John Woo fight, perhaps allow the more
spectatular moves with the use of one or more karma points (use, not burn,
though that might apply for truly spectacular "Hand of God" situations). this
would also accuratly reflect the movies feel, where the good guys who have
been around a while can pull off such stunts regularly while the new sidekick
often cant. This works especially well if the NPC's get a small karma pool
equal to their professionalism level (IE 1 for average through 4 for
professionals)
