Well, Reduced Consumption (Cast-Iron Stomach) is already a one-point trait, and Immune to (Specific Toxin) is a canonical Perk. So I'd say he's spot-on.

DRIVEN FURY

You have a +1 to self-control roll to see if you snap out of the berserk state, when that leads the characters to attack someone he considers a friend or ally.

They are campaign specific, but their cost is legit. Note that Scombroid Poisoning is a sickness despite it's name, while Ciguatera is a bona fide poison.

in that same campaign I also have:

• CO2 Tolerance: Marginal Atmospheres due to high CO2 are treated as non-marginal (unless another condition applies) and non-toxic. A CO2 atmosphere that lacks oxygen will still be suffocating.

Edited to add:

Here was one in a DF campaign...

• Jet Mastery: You may increase or decrease the maintenance cost and associated effects of any maintained jet spell on a turn by turn basis. This does not require a new spell roll.
  Prerequisites: Magery 1, Innate Attack (Beam) at 12+, One Jet spell at 15+.

Here is one I use often in space adapted biroids...

• Vacuum Responsive Dermis: You skin has a subcutaneous muscle layer that contracts and tightens when exposed to very low pressures, effectively becoming a Mechanical Counterpressure Suit. This makes you immune to skin swelling and the bends due to vacuum for up to HT minutes, afterwhich you must spend at least 5 minutes in a pressuraized environment before you can use this perk again. This confers no protection against Explosive Decompression, extreme temperature or suffocation.

Effectively this is Vacuum Support with the 10-minute Maxium duration limitation and a -30% Accessability limitation "Not effective against sudden pressure loss." If you feel that the limitation vs. explosive decompression should be worth more, increase the duration to HTx3 or HTx6.

Another one!

• Running Man

You can shove up to -2 in penalties from Fast-Draw (Ammo) from reloading when doing Move or Move and Attack maneuvers. This means that you can roll without penalties when running and reloading. This perk is redundant if you have Gunslinger.

Immunity to some specific toxins is realistic. Being able to hork unprepared raw pufferfish and chase it with 1M dioxin isn't.

Blade Protection:
Eliminates the -1 to parry for one type of weapon used by the Knife skill (e.g. Dagger).

[Trachmyr]

Hard to Hold: +1 to Break-Free attempts. This can be a leveled perk at the GM's approval or in any cinematic game.

Speeding ticket safe

You won't get a simple speeding ticket under normal circumstances. This is mainly a knack for knowing the roads and the feeding habits of the local mobile revenue collection department (ie. police) but also some minor luck.

This only functions if you're driving in a reasonably safe and sane manner, and aren't doing anything to draw attention to yourself. Thus, if you're doing 60 in a 35 zone, you're as toasted as anyone else--but if you're doing 75 in a 55, and most people are going 70, you'll likely get away with it.

If you are stopped, then you have a +1 reaction bonus to talk your way out of it, or talk yourself down to a warning instead of a ticket.

The perk is useless on Driving to Endanger, OUI, or anything other than routine speeding.
