TEXT:  Alternate Priority Charts

  Even Slide Chart 
  I've encountered two major problems with the current priority chart: 
  #1: The money descends too quickly. 
  #2: The grouping of money and spell points doesn't seem to make much sense. On the rare occasion that I
  sit down and try to create a magical character which will never have a chance to run I don't like having
  400,000ny on my hands if the character is, say, a humble shaman living in the sticks. Also letting a mage
  sorcery adept have a million bucks tends to result in a character which not only has a whole lot of really
  neato spells, but also a large number of powerful foci right off the bat. 
  I've used the following priority chart with some success. It adds another priority level (ignored by non
  magicians) but corrects the problems listed above. 
  A       Metahuman       Hum Magic               30      40      1,000,000       50
  B       Human           Adept/Meta              24      30      500,000         40
  C       Human           Meta Adep               20      24      250,000         30
  D       Human           -                       17      20      125,000         20
  E       Human           -                       15      17      75,000          10
  F       Human           -                       15      17      75,000          5
  Humbling Priority Chart 
  I personally think it's fun to start off with a character that, for lack of a better description, sucks. A
  character who's life is crap for a month or two before they ever have a chance at a half way decent run.
  The kind of character that gets beat up at bars a lot. Although it adds a certain amount of frustration it
  also adds challenge and does not allow for the creation of kick ass PCs right from the start. 
  A       Metahuman       Hum Magic               20      24      100,000         15
  B       Human           Adept/Meta              18      20      50,000          12
  C       Human           Meta Adep               16      16      25,000          9
  D       Human           -                       14      12      12,000          6
  E       Human           -                       12      8       6,000           3
  F       Human           -                       12      8       6,000           3
