Aberrant RPG Mega-Attribute Enhancement: Acceleration Tolerance (Mega-Stamina)
Despite the benefits provided by their quantum-enhanced metabolisms, most novas are only slightly more resistant to the dangers of high-G acceleration or deceleration than your average baseline. Even speedsters and novas with Adaptibility face this problem. Speedsters can ignore the inertial effects of their own powers, but if you strap one to an ICBM (many of which have boosting speeds of at least 25 G's) and launch it he's likely to end up either dead or nearly so. Novas with Adaptibility are in the same boat, as that kind of protection is geared towards environmental conditions- that much acceleration only needs a few seconds to turn a human (or superhuman) body into so much meat pudding. Fortunately for them, novas with this enhancement can dismiss such problems with a laugh. These novas are also in much demand by space agencies worldwide to serve as astronauts.

System: The nova can totally ignore the effects of high-G acceleration and deceleration. The Storyteller may or may not choose to determine a quantum point cost for this enhancement, as per Adaptibility.
