Afflicting a Taboo Trait?

If it removed an advantage or advantages and/or inflicted a disadvantage or lowered attributes, I would expect to see that cost reflected in the racial template as a net disadvantage. (IE senseless blob of protoplasm with all of the great benefits that come with that). That would raise the cost of the affliction advantage accordingly. I'd even go so far to allow an inverse version of modular abilities to negate advantages or traits that you DON'T know about, on a point for point version (fun!). But I'd never allow for the removal of a trait by the infliction of a 0-point taboo. That's nonsense now that I think about it LOL

No, if you want a human to be a human without their [insert list of advantages here], you pay the price for Negated Advantage. However, if you wish to change a human into a goldfish, that's just Morph or Alternate Form, depending on whether you want to stick to one species, or, declare as you roll.
