Thanks. I htink part of the problem is people looking at Shion and Ran and 
their 900-point totals. But they are exceptions. Marta, Kitten, Ryder, 
Paula, Tamara -- these are more PC-level characters.

Note -- this doesn't mean you can't play a world-class esper (Raven is 
getting into that realm), but you don't need to play one to have fun.
