they have sweat glands (and get wet, stinky fur

panting, or by another method?

enough of such (hey, it's the Awakening, anything's
possible, we know that). Personally, seeing as how
all of the "metahuman" category derived from Human
genetic stock in some manner though, I'd say they do
sweat.

Most probably. I wasn't being ENTIRELY serious - but I
didn't think the question had been asked before, so I
thought I might as well ask it. :)

reason, the smell of "wet dog" leaps to mind... which
is fine for a dog, but for a Metahuman???

Hell yeah! I think Night Ones just got a lot more
unpleasant to be around. ;)

New Flaw:


BO

1/2 point flaw

The sufferer of this flaw suffers really bad body
odour. This could be from sweating profusely, as a
result of diet, or from having poor personal hygiene
(often as a result of living on the street). Seriously
bad odours (street living, never bathing for whatever
reason etc.) are worth 2 points. Moderately bad odours
(due to profuse sweating or diet etc.) are worth 1
point. The sufferer has a penalty to all social
interactions equal to the value of the flaw, even
intimidation. It's hard to be intimidated by someone
while you're trying not to throw up.

Night Ones all have this flaw. Unless they bathe at
least twice a day, their fur acquires a musty odour,
which gives them a +1 target number. After strenuous
exercise (combat, running for more than half their
athletics skill in minutes, minimum one minute etc.)
they suffer a +2 modifier due to sweating.


Now how evil is that? ;)
