Rephrasing: I want to feel like I'm just starting out. Often, first-level D&D with classes that have magic or magic-like things feels like you're not even out of your initial training (or whatever the equivalent is for a class). This system only really has that for Champions - Stargazers have four Illuminations, Empaths have two Personas with two Illuminations each, but Champions have only one Illumination and no Cartridges - all they have going for them is the chassis, and at first level, that's not much.
What's meant by tenor?
