+3 FP is basically useless for warriors in vanilla DFRPG as warriors are unlikely to spend a large amount of fatigue in a single battle (and over multiple battles, Fit will generally be superior). Poison resistance is not terrible, but 6 levels tends to be wasteful. I would disagree about the disadvantages not making them worse, unlike social disadvantages (which can be avoided by not engaging in social activity, which is viable in DF), it's hard to evade the consequences of greed and stubbornness.

As for elves, Forest Guardian is pretty OP for scouts and similar characters, but has no synergy with appearance and not much with magery 0.

I'll grant. Since I've refused to let go of my Extra Effort in Combat rules (Kromm can pry them from my cold dead hands!) I keep forgetting FP is nigh useless for non-casters and non-FP fighters (Swashbucklers and Martial Artists).
