Re: [HOE] When to introduce new syker powers?



Hi!
What exactly do you mean with "brand new". A power of another specialty than the syker in the posse has, or a power that you created?
I´m very careful to give the syker in my posse not everything possible. He can only learn new powers when he meets a friendly syker, visits the academy of Jericho (but not everyone is given new powers there) or maybe finds a book or a data slug for a learning machine. But these should be rare. For these reasons, I allow him to keep 5 or more bounty points at hand and give him the chance to learn syker powers IN the session, if he somehow finds another power. But as I said, these occasions are very rare. so mainly he must learn his specialty powers.

Just to see if anyone has an idea whether it was better to just introduce an NPC with the power or to have them stumble upon it.  Now, I mean powers that are brand new.  I have been playing around with a couple of ideas for balance and it would be to make them for the NPC or have one guy find it and read what it says in a "book" or "slug."
