Agreed. Limited and rare. I always meant to improve them (I had two Droyne
PCs) and we got as far as using a modified set of TNE rules, with Droyne
"aliens book" add-ons such as Link and Direction Sense, but I've never been
completely happy with them. It's still fun to watch a PSI 15 Droyne with
Teleport-15, bounce around taking out the bad guys, though!  ;-)

(Possibly a little too OTT, but still fun!!)
