Yay - you didn't call them 'Tenktenese'! The movie rocked, but the show sucked ass so hard.

I think having something as common as the ocean causing Acid damage is worth more then a -1.  Salt water is so common that someone could murder these guys with a super soaker.

Agreed - could you put in something to do with their rapid adaptability?

There's a reason they don't get the iconic penalties, and that was the intention of giving them the additional interests

And with the number and ease of acquiring of substances lethal to humans and the general newcomer ability to handle toxic to humans substances -- nerve gas probably gives them a mild buzz, who cares about methane? -- and based on earlier conversations Scott about the na'vi & non-oxy breathers, I think a -1 is fair enough if maybe a touch conservative.

Okay, say we're generous and reprice Alien Phys. at -2, that would allow us to slot in Thick Hide (2) -- replicating Sykes' need for large calibers -- or perhaps a Free Hint to represent that adaptability
