[Supers] Scaling of ST with Super-Effort

Oh, I was going to do that anyway. I adore KYOS, too. Or are KYOS and Super-Effort intended to be mutually exclusive?

Super-Effort does one thing: It makes the scaling of ST exponential rather than quadratic. Combining it with a different system that does the same thing is at best redundant. It might get you a doubly exponential progression, which I expect would let you get insane levels of ST for cheap.

Hm, good point. Although I wouldn't go so far as to call it 'cheap'. ;) Oh, well, it's going to be an I-class game anyway, so it's unlikely Super-Effort will come up, since the scaling is intentional as it is.
