Cool. Thanks. That sounds like just what I was looking for, although that
combined with a 1d12 faith could be painful... :)

I also had an idea for a new hinderance:
Wild Talent (3pts.) - any AB that requires an aptitude roll to activate
all their powers can take the wild talent hinderance (doomsayers, sykers,
enlightened, junkers, toxic shamans... not templars (sorry guys)). 
The character is a natural with his given AB. But he doesn't have the
control that comes with the hard work that most people have to put into
becoming good with an AB.
In game terms every time the char. uses a power roll a d10 and consult the
following table:
Roll	Result
----	------
0*	treat power as if char. got +2 raises
9*	treat power as if char. got +1 raise
6-8	no effect
4-5**	treat power as if char. got -1 raise
2-3**	treat power as if char. got -2 raises
1	Something BAD happens***

* - in order to get the raises the player must get at least a success on
  the aptitude roll. If he doesn't the power fails to work.
** - if this is enough to negate all of the player's successes the power
  fails and the strain (if applicable) is still spent/components are made
  worhtless/etc.
*** - hucksters roll backlash, sykers roll brain burn, toxic shamans are
treated as if they drew a joker, junkers attract an evil spirit. For
Doomsayers either the marshal come up with something or roll a die:
Offensive power: odd - effects random friend, even - effects doomsayer
Defensive power: odd - effects random enemy, even - has inverse effect

Thoughts?
