A few questions on The Reconciler OCC for Galactus Kid?

Good afternoon and happy new year! I hope you don't mind I have a few questions for you about your Reconciler OCC for the Knights of the White Rose.

They are the only OCC from the Knights that does not have the basic Ley Line Wizard abilities. This seems like a very limiting ability for them to travel and work with their kin. Is that an error or was it intentional?

They get Commune with Spirits as one of their psychic powers even though they have Improved Commune with Spirits as a OCC ability. Should they have gotten something else in place of the basic Commune with Spirits psi power?

There is no XP table for the OCC, should they use one of the ones for the existing Knights of the White Rose?

And last but not least, the TW Conduit Sword says that for the base cost of 2* bolt cost they get a short sword ability but for 4* bolt cost they get a long sword size ability. Was there a mechanical difference to justify the increase in cost or is it just for cosmetics?

Thanks so much for your support on these questions and for writing such a great book and bonus class for the Rifter!

I have received a reply through the original PM I sent to Galactus Kid and with his permission I am going let everyone know his answers.

I'll have to look at my original manuscript, but here are my answers off the top of my head:

They are the only OCC from the Knights that does not have the basic Ley Line Wizard abilities. This seems like a very limiting ability for them to travel and work with their kin. Is that an error or was it intentional?
This was intentional. The Reconcilers developed different abilities and tend to work closely with other Knights such as the Gateways when working outside of Madhaven.

They get Commune with Spirits as one of their psychic powers even though they have Improved Commune with Spirits as a OCC ability. Should they have gotten something else in place of the basic Commune with Spirits psi power?
They get both as they operate sightly differently. Feel free to work with your GM and replace Commune with Spirits with another ability.

There is no XP table for the OCC, should they use one of the ones for the existing Knights of the White Rose?
Sorry. Use the same XP table as the Gateway

And last but not least, the TW Conduit Sword says that for the base cost of 2* bolt cost they get a short sword ability but for 4* bolt cost they get a long sword size ability. Was there a mechanical difference to justify the increase in cost or is it just for cosmetics?
The additional cost is an error. There was orginally a mechanical difference, but I removed that early on. Unfortunately it made it into the book.
