Why do Miranda and Jacob have more Squad Points than the rest of the team?  They start with 1 point in each of 2 abilities, while the rest of the team only start with 1 point in a single ability.  Since they gain points at the same rate, this means that Jacob and Miranda always have 1 point more than the rest of the team by endgame.  It may not seem like a lot, but it can be the difference between maxing an ability and having 3 leftover useless points.

They also get the advantage of not having their powers locked.  For every other character, you need to spend 3 squad points to unlock their second power.  Mordin can't use Cryo Blast without unlocking the first 2 levels of Incinerate, for example.  This puts a severed damper on the builds availible to the other characters.  You can't have a Mordin with Full Cryo Blast, Salarian Savant, and Improved Neural Shock, for example, because getting Incinerate to Rank 2 robs you of the points you need to fulfill that combo.

Yet Miranda and Jacob can have any combination of their skills used, able to max any 3 abilities and have a single point in the last.  (28 points via level up, 2 via starter abilities, and 1 unlocked via loyalty mission).

Jacob is pretty terrible though, so it kinda evens out. Miranda is the best support character in the game though.

True. But I still don't get why those two have completely different ability setups than the rest of the squad.

I like Jacob when he has Barrier unlocked. Any ability that allows the characters to regenerate their shields or armor makes them a lot tougher.
