My only quibble is temp taint isn't easy to get rid of (although in many games it's extremely hard to get).  If memory serves, temp taint reduction takes weeks to months of down time, during which you do basically nothing with your powers... and at the end of that you get a willpower roll which can be at a high difficulty.

Most novas don't have the time, or live a lifestyle which allows for that much power-free down time.  Many don't have absurdly high willpowers, and even with a Will of 10, the difficulty is such that above a certain point you simply can't burn off temp taint.

I thank you all for the awesome feedback.

The project I was working on and which will make use of your suggestions will be put on ice for the time being.

I will keep you updated once I am ready to make the next step.
