Trying to figure out how much I should stack onto Biotic Charge for an adaptation of Mass Effect Classes into types.

Biotic Charge in the game basically allowed you an instant Charge + Magic Melee attack in a line with basically Long Range. Downsides were if they weren't dead, they are shooting you at point blank.

Was trying to figure out how that would work. I was thinking an adaptation of the Foci - Charges Right In - with a short movement and an attack, but it would be fly, straight line. But as the game progresses you would improve the biotic charge with things like aoe or shield restoration.

Also, each of the types get 3 things and as a cross between a Soldier and a Biotic character I was unsure what would they get for abilities. Most of the time I played, I grabbed Barrier for Defense (an overshield) and Shockwave for cover mitigation. But those weren't the only options they had, and I was unsure what they should have.

Is anyone here on the asset team? How long did it take from the time you completed the form/application until you heard something back?

Descriptors, species descriptors and foci? I know this book is 99% setting, but if it has anything new I can’t find in any book I’d be a bit more interested in running that setting. But if I’m spending that much I’ll need more than just setting even if it is super detailed.

Location: found in a well aged place.
Weapon type: light
Damage inflicted: 0
Effect: when consumed heels 3 might, but also inflicts 1d4 might damage to the consumer due to the extra sharp material used in its construction.
Degradation: 1d4 unless consumed.
Name: the cheese knife.
Description: an ordinary block of cheddar cheese, whittled down to the shape of a knife. It’s extra sharp!

Evolved? 2e?
