On the other hand, it's definitely not as bad as Monster, because people won't attack you. I'd call it -10, equivalent to Minority Group.

And I think the lack of reaction penalties are what makes the price [-5], because you look normal until you try to do something legal. If you don't look normal... that might be a different disadvantage.
