[UA] Adept avatars

[Alex Lampros]

I'd be wary of allowing any adept/avatars in a global game.  If you're  
spending that many points on supernatural stuff, will you have enough left 
to make your character interesting?  I'd probably only allow it if I knew 
the character was a good roleplayer.

I think most of the possiblities you mentioned below would break taboo.  
Merchants would probably have to expend a lot of money getting deals to 
work, for example.

I had an idea that involved a Pilgrim/Entropomancer.  He was a v ery 
anxious sort, perpetually scared that some harm would come to his family.  
His Pilgrim skill was "make my family 100% safe".  His obsession with the 
ablity of dumb chance to kill eventually turned into Entropomancy.  My 
plan was to have him eventually challenge the current Pilgrim: The current 
pilgrim moves towards a definable goal, whereas this Pilgrim moves closer 
and closer to something that will never totally exist (his family will 
never be safe enough for him.)  I guess it was "the Mystic" or something, 
because it reminded me of a religous striving for salvation or eternal 
peace - you're never going to totally get  there.
