[Torg] possibility adventure costs

[Phil Dack]

I agree, I've never been wholly happy with them either but not
stumbled upon an appropriate solution.

One suggestion I have is at character generation  - a points
based system could take into account these advantages upfront.
But that's a big BIG piece of work!

Another option is that present in the Terra sourcebook, using a
Hero/GURPSesque advantages and disadvantages system to reduce
the adventure cost.

To be honest, for a single power, ability or package, I'd
probably waive the adventure cost nowadays, just as I don't
charge the cyber-agent ppoints to have infrared vision or a US
marine for having an automatic weapon.
