POWERS THAT BE

Max Breakers: There are those that train harder or are just lucky enough to excel abnormally in one way or another. Basically they can train up into the middle of the next tier in something, five higher, but the cost to get there is doubled. For apts that are limited by tier is once if two tiers per level. For apts that are only once per tier they can only take one for every other tier. So if it was once per tier they could take a max breaker for it once at the second tier and again if they reached the third tier. The Narrator should be asked to approve of all Max Breakers, as they could cause an imbalance. They could be limited based on the character's nature, both meaning in power/ source or persona/ role playing. For an example of the latter a highly competitive persona might spend a great deal of time training to the extreme of doing push-ups while pinned down in a firefight and the Narrator may reward this with allowing taking Strength Max Breakers. A person whose character has a studious persona and out of character takes great notes may be allowed to take Memory Max Breakers. If the character gains xp to get into the next tier they do not get 'refunded' the Max Breaker, it counts as an outside apt.

 

Quick Recovery (500): The recovery action costs 1 less AP. This aptitude can be taken once per tier. Even with powers this cannot be brought beneath 2 AP.
