In 1e second generation novas were a later additoin--I think rules were in either the player's guide or one of the unpublished supplements.
But, at this point the setting is somewhat different--for one thing, there's no conspiracy to keep novas from having kids. So for settings that go a little past the current time, where the children of existing novas might be PC's what do you think the rules would be like. I have a few thoughts for possibilities:
1. THey're novas. No different. The fact that you may have a better chance to erupt doesn''t make the eruption any different, and in fact might make it worse, as children erupt early and start pressing their boundaries, with all the consequences, social and personal, that brings.
2. They are more likely to erupt but the power comes more naturally, both protecting them and keeping them from making short cuts.
In rules form this would mean that they cannot buy traits for a discount by accepting transcendence. Flux might go up to 15 or 20 before a point of transcendence is added.
Quantum would still add transcendence, as that's not a mutation as much as it's an evolution o something different.
3. The children actually never "Erupt" as such. They're born with very weak powers and abilities that gradually grow as they mature.
4. Some combination of the above.
What do others think?
