Limiting disadvantages is often a bad idea -- Mitigator (and any special limitations mentioned for the disad specifically) is the only real exception. You should limit the +attribute instead.

So if you want to have ST 11, but be at "-1 to ST at night time", you'd actually buy:

ST 10 [0]
ST +1 (Accessibility, Only during the day, -20%) [8]

Remember that every Accessibility can be phrased as its own inverse. So if you want a penalty to IQ during the full moon, buy extra IQ with "Accessibility, Not during the full moon, -5%".
