Yeah, but a wet clean dog doesn't smell bad. Especially after they are clean
and you are drying them (i.e. they are still wet). Getting a clean dog wet
doesn't make them smell. It is the buildup of dirt, oil, etc. and the fact
that people clean their dogs pretty rarely. As far as coat damage, we have
shampoos with special chemicals in it to compensate for that. I think that a
Night One could shampoo once a day and be fine (in fact could potentially
smell pretty good with a perfumed cleaner).
I guess to me I am fighting for the player on this one. Isn't an allergy to
sunlight enough, does the character have to smell too. If they forget
hygiene then sure, but otherwise I think it is over-penalizing the player.
