Well, I have to confess, I've never played an extensive campaign. So you may very well be right... I've run a one shot (that actually turned into a 2 shot, i think) and an adventure that lasted about 5 sessions.

So you've clearly got more experience than I do. But to me, from reading, it seems clear that Adepts and Avatars are not SUPPOSED to be intrinsically "better" than normal people. This is, I imagine, something the GM has a lot of influence over. If the GM requires the various Prices of magick and Avatarhood to be pretty strictly adhered to, those disadvantages (adepts, especially, are pretty much fundamentally insane) should (at least in theory?) work to balance out the advantages the powers offer.

in practice, i'm sure this may not always (or even frequently) work out. you'd know better than me.
