[HQ Ignorance] Elvishness

[Lev Lafayette]

OK, my ruling is that the generic -10 is part
physical, part psychological. Your character could
have received specialist training (i.e., an ability
and probably at least 1W1) to get rid of the
psychological aspect, and you'll probably need some
magic (of similar level) to get rid of the physical
aspect (with the sort of side effect you've
described).

This said, there will be parts of the story where an
Aldryami is going to be *required* (not giving too
much away here...)

All the best,


Lev
