Glad you got it done, Ari. Couple things, though.

Spiritual presence isn't so much piety as it is the potency of the soul, faith doesn't play that big of a role since souls are tangible things here (i.e. Zaccheus has turned his back on religion but he's still a theurge of Extreme strength) and it's more can you look at a seraphim/survive a death spell from a wraith/and so on. If she's not particularly endowed in that department, I'd bump her down.

For psychic presence, potential will only get you so far. I have Dio listed as High, and if she can match or even out-psych him, that's fine, but he's auto-aiming, bullet-timing, running up walls, punching through concrete, and deflecting machine gun fire with his psykosis (and telekinetically animating Dante's chain whip if he'll let him :P) Every psychic's going to have different areas of expertise, but if she isn't on that level (multitasking several potent powers together while being able to still fight) I'd keep her at average, since the potential would at least cover *resistance* to some degree. (Extreme psych would be teleporting, tearing apart buildings, mass dominating entire cities, getting blown to pieces and holding one's constituent cells together, etc).

Finally, the only way someone'd have Extreme mech aptitude is if they're Artificer-trained. That's on the order of performing cybernetic surgery in the field, manufacturing stuff straight out of raw materials, borderline-miraculous hacking abilities, and so on. What you're describing is more in the High category -- i.e. can fix pretty much anything, given time and resources.

And am I reading it right that she doesn't know how to really use the weapons she carries? Having a Poor in combat ability just seems a little odd to me if she's carrying that kind of specialized melee-combat equipment, unless she honestly doesn't know how to use it. I'd think at least average, especially if her psykosis bleeds into her reflexive abilities and whatnot at all.

I should probably have mentioned that Average is not actually average in the sense that your common citizen likely has, at best, Poor across the board. :P

Edit: oh, and for the record, I don't care if she's powerful, I like powerful, I'm just striving for accuracy with all this. ;)
Cold silence has a tendency
to atrophy any sense of compassion
between supposed lovers.
Between supposed brothers.
