Default Re: Opposite of Acute Senses - Dull Senses?

For taste and smell, I wouldn't give more than -1 per -2 to rolls - that way -5 is equal to -10 and becomes No Taste And Smell.

For sight, you either hand out diluted versions of the combat penalties along with the vision penalty, or you have to decide how much of Bad Sight is the combat penalty.

For hearing, I'd say that the penalty to understand other people speaking seems very fair to hand out with a diluted version of the disadvantage. Although I can't think of any animals with actual bad hearing. I know there's deaf animals (they usually have some kind of Vibration Sense instead), and animals with more or less ability to tell which direction a sound came from, but not any known for particularly bad hearing, per ce.
