The one big change in my campaign is that I've added Betas.
<CAMPAIGN SPOILER SPACE>











Basically Betas lie between deltas and alphas, and they can be made
artifically. Right now (campaign time) the process is long and
expensive, the company that made it (Medtech) is refining it. The player
(it's a one PC campaign) is actually the first beta, but is suffering from
memory loss (cliche, I know).

Betas come in two flavors, primary and secondary.
Primary Betas (B1's) have a single power package that is amplified (a
blaster does 10d6+10 and has Armor 10, a telekinetic can lift can lift
things up to size 6, etc.)
Secondary Betas (B2's) have two power packages (I call them phenotypes),
but both at normal strength. The PC in the game started out as a scrapper
and is now a B2 Scrapper/Copy Cat.

Further the company (Medtech) has developed synthetic hormones that can
temporarily boost a delta's/beta's powers to near alpha levels. This
causes many detrimental physio/psycho-logical problems though, and is
addictive.
