sure the average scion will have a higher skill level (ability to kill people and go through areas) then other cabals but its not the case that there are 10 slots and 10 qualified candidates and they all get in. The reality is that you have 10 slots, 30 qualified candidates, and only 2 get in.


The cabal is broken from a balance standpoint because the only reason it is balanced is because its induction process is always broken. The powers enhance the abilities of mages to an absurd level. Ok only one power does that, despoil. If you remove despoil you can drastically change the player cap.
