No more than 15 dice may be spent on powers.

Each character gets 2 "occupation" advantages.

Team Role Occupation (3D to Military, Shooting, Fighting, Intrusion)

The Adventurer (in it for the thrills - covers Athletics as well)

The Investigator (in it to figure things out - covers Investigation as well)

The Thief (in it for the goods - covers Streetwise as well)

Specialties can be bought as normal with the "components" of the Team Role occupation.
