I'd agree that it's more crippling. The Low Empathy build looks fine.

Specialist Ada Solaris 519 is 24 and is physically a typical member of her species; brown hair and eyes; 5'2", 145lbs. She is dedicated, intense, quiet, and more than a little creepy.

Five years ago she crossed the Residential Barrier on Esbouvier and requested asylum. She doesn't talk about why she fled, only that she did. She is completely dedicated to the Imperial Mission, and will not flinch from any action needed to accomplish it.

Now that you mention it, I believe that the template ought to include reduced Will. At least enough so that it only has regular human Will, if not an average of 8-9. They are supposed to be sub-servient to some degree, so giving them an average of 12 seems off.

They resist the Dominance and Sex pheromones of the Leader caste at -4 already though, but perhaps...

But given that stubborness and intelligence are only linked in game terms, not necessarily in world terms, it probably wouldn't make sense for them to deliberately engineer higher independence and mental resistance into them.

Makes a good deal of sense to me.
