Re: [HoE] AB Cost!

[Michael <martin_etc@yahoo.com>]

Trucker ain't happy with a Ford Pickup truck?

How about picking up "Veteran" to cover the cost of
the truck? 

Keep in mind, also, that the Trucker gets to use his
*often*. There isn't strain, just gas. He should get
one with good gas mileage and you should be easy on
him about it. Not infinite gas (this isn't a Game
Genied game, nor should it be), but don't worry too
much, trust him to refill it and start with some spokk
juice in the truck. 

The syker pays (3) AB + (usually 5) Blastin' + (2?)
Fortitude + (3?) Banshee Stone. 

There's 13 points. And those nice 5 powers you have?
How often can you use 'em? Well, let's say you have
4d12 Vigor (and a Syker wouldn't be a supersoldier),
so: 12 strain. If every power costs 1 strain, you use
12 before recharge/rest. 

But you dont' use your powers: remember, "Use your SMG
before Brainblast" etc.  So, you pay almost as much as
the trucker, maybe more, for powers you use *less*.
And the truckers are allowed to have hair.
