Default [G4e] Quick Question: Ugly (Not to Own Race), What's the Modifier?

I own Fantasy and know there is a "Not to Own Race" modifier that can be added to Appearance in a racial template. But, I won't have my books until Tuesday.

Can someone help a GURPS brother out? ;)

Thanks!

It's just a feature. Appearance can be defined either relative to your own race, or relative to the dominant race in the setting. If you're ugly to both (assuming they're not the same), you probably want to take Universal for +25% (I think).

Under the Troll template it lists Ugly (Not to own kind, -25%), but this is apparently an error, as the notes under Appearance say that it is a +0% feature to have your appearance affect other races but not your own and that's how it's done in the other templates. The errata confirms that this is how it is supposed to work.
