{{Name}} is a physical defect that causes the player's base [[Quickness]] to fluctuate based on their [[Temperature]]. At the normal surface temperature of 25°, the player's Quickness will be reduced by 10, for a total of 90. Temperatures below 25° will further reduce the players Quickness, while temperatures above 25° will augment it. These changes in temperature produce diminishing returns; slight temperature increases or decreases will see noticeable increases and decreases in Quickness respectively, while very high or very low temperature values will only see comparatively slight differences in Quickness.

Cold Blooded (D) is a physical defect that causes the player's base Quickness to fluctuate based on their Temperature. At the normal surface temperature of 25°, the player's Quickness will be reduced by 10, for a total of 90. Temperatures below 25° will further reduce the players Quickness, while temperatures above 25° will augment it. These changes in temperature produce diminishing returns; slight temperature increases or decreases will see noticeable increases and decreases in Quickness respectively, while very high or very low temperature values will only see comparatively slight differences in Quickness.
