I haven't found any to be unbalancing, yet. However, my campaign is still
young. They are what you'd expect, though. Goliaths are strong, speedsters
are quick, geniuses are smart, toughs are darn hard to hurt, etc...

It's tough to be a Goliath. When you see an 8 foot tall guy with a face
only a mother could love who can toss around engine blocks, it's gotta be a
delta. Hard to keep a secret id like that.There's one goliath in my game,
and to be honest, we looked at some of the rules, and threw them out. Since
he wanted to be able to interact with non-deltas who wouldn't be forever
perstering him for his registration card, he chose to play a young
character who handn't grown into his full 'goliathness', either in strength
or obviousness.
