    So for this last power, Marcella would have a -15 to her TN going from 80 to 75. She rolls a 7, which would be like a traditional overbleed of 30, giving her a total of 4 shards. She still rolled well, and gets a lot out of the power, but is harder to activate, and she doesn't way over activate the power.
    I'm cool with that as an implementation.

    I think one of the main impetus behind using the Rogue Trader system was how easy it was to generate Warp Phenomena. Roll a single 9 and the party is in trouble, and for a bit there she was rolling them constantly. So in the current method we're using, there's still 1/10 chance of a
    Warp Phenomena, rather than 1/10 chance per die.

    I'm fine with the cap proposed. Keeps Warp Nasty at 1/10 chance, she's still useful to the party and isn't a liability.
