| No automatic starting enemies from resources. Enemies fitting with your history can be gained by purchasing flaws. I may alter your enemies power if I think it's justified, but you will get the points for it. | |

| In addition to the two starting Level 1 Contacts, all players also have a Level 1 Fixer/Johnson Contact that I'll detail later. Other contacts may be purchased as normal. | |
| I'm aiming for a slightly lower-powered game so anything with an Availability over 5 should be consulted with me. | |
