Re: [FT] Wave Gun (was: OU & IC & FB3)

That is a beautiful concept.  I am reminded that in the later shows they
had 
banks of teeps on duty.  Let me make it even more Genre based.	In B5
the 
teeps all had a P level.  PsiCorp said this went from 1-10. 1 being Deja
Vu 
like ability and 10 being Bester.  It is a logrithmic scale with the 
majority of teeps being 1's, with the rest rapidly decending in number
until 
you get to a handful of 10's.  The of course their is John Ironheart who
is 
a P20 (X-Men level).

So, here is a quickly cobbled together table.  Rank your Teep bank at a 
particular P-Lvl.  Each teep gets 1 die.  Each Range Band (RB) is 6mu. 
So a 
P-10 can reach out 60mu.  Your typical P5 can reach out 30mu.

P-lvl  Dice/RB	    % of Population  Cost (no mass)
-----  -----------  ---------------  --------------
1      1/1	    34% 		2
2      1/2	    17% 		3
3      1/3	    11% 		7
4      2/4	     9% 	       15
5      2/5	     7% 	       36
6      2/6	     6% 	       91
7      3/7	     5% 	      182
8      3/8	     4% 	      365
9      3/9	     4% (rnd)	      729
10     4/10	     3% 	     1458
...
20     5/20	    Unique	    Unique

This makes up through P5 reasonable.  As for the rediculous cost of the 
higher leves, consider this, after P6 I altered the formula which other
wise 
would have tripled the cost of the P10.  The cost reflects the rarity of
the 
teep and not any actual money, per say.  Basically they are a hard
resource 
to come by.  You could also use a deck of cards and the decent p5 and 
above's are face cards.  After you paid a basic price you then draw from
the 
deck.  if you end up with a non face card you have a P1-4 depending on
the 
card.

Better yet, forget points, these guys are genre gimics and should only 
appear in scenarios.

Each die produces the following effects

1-3: "I'm picking up an offer from 1-800-mypsychic...",  No Effect
4: Slow main drive by 1
5: Slow main drive by 1/2 disable 1 weapon (defenders choice)
6: Shadow main drive fully disabled, all weapons fully disabled this
turn.

Anyway that is off the top of my head.
