Okay, so it looks like Discriminatory Smell needs to be added. I should have remembered that stuff. Anything else I missed?

At the very least Secret Lore (Heterodynes). Pretty much every organization in that world has secrets, but the Heterodynes have centuries of scheming Sparks trying to SHOW THEM ALL.

Knowing the truth about Castle Heterodyne's sentience and capabilities for example.

It's hard to say what should be on the base template. All of the current Jaegers are centuries old with tons of combat experience.

When we first met "the Terrible Trio", they were hanging by their necks in an attempt to execute them... which wasn't doing anything to them. IDHTBWM - which GURPS trait includes "cannot be strangled"?

There is a reason I suggested DR (Tough Skin) 4.

Immunity to Metabolic Hazards? Universal Digestion? Cases could be made for both.

Again, however, you run into the problem of base template versus experienced Jaeger. It has several times been hinted or outright stated that the mutations continue over time. Vole of course was forcibly aged several centuries and he went from fairly standard (if large) to looking like one of the Generals.

I *almost* want to comment on Higgs here, but I don't think the Heterodynes made him.

EDIT: Reputation (Jaeger) [Hated/ Feared, Recognized everywhere in Europa almost all the time]

How did we forget that?

Injury Tolerance: No Neck covers it, although it also prevents cutting multipliers to neck attacks. So take a limitation on it :)

I called it a Social Stigma, but either way it doesn't apply if the campaign is never going to Europa (the Jägers are going to be DBs in a RIFTS game... so really it could go either way)

I'm convinced Higgs is a Heterodyne. But there's a whole 'nother thread for those suppositions.
