Considering 1 energy/second bleed is -80% on P119 (only an extra -10%) it seems like "Energy Discharge" might be meant to replace that? It changes -10% to be 1 per 10 minutes while 1 per second is now assigned -30% ... actually the difference is even more extreme since you get x2 for rare/difficult meaning that's -20% and -60% respectably, and still avoidable whereas P119's -80% loss isn't avoidable in any way.

It's also built the assumption the recharging isn't a major problem, for my Werewolf example having to wait until the next full moon is a MAJOR problem, the need for sex for my succubus example might not be as bad but is problematic, and that's before I start saying have sex with a succubus has it's downsides (STD's, mind control are both possibilities)

That makes me wonder about defining non-human species in terms of not only who can reproduce with whom, which social diseases can jump species barriers.

Like should there be an enhancement for the Social Disease disadvantage if it can be spread to more than your own species in a world where you interact with other non-human sapient life forms?
