The Meta-Trait

 [-35 points]
 Advantages: Extra Legs (Four Legs) [5]
 Disadvantages: Horizontal [-10]; No Fine Manipulators [-30].

Advantages

 Extra Legs (Four Legs)

You have four legs; you can lose one and continue to move at half Move (round down). The loss of a second causes you to fall. [5]

Disadvantages

 Horizontal

You've a horizontal posture. You can stand on your hind legs for short periods, but this is very uncomfortable. You can use one hand (if you have hands) while standing on your other limbs, or two hands while sitting on your haunches; in both cases, your Move is 0 while doing so. You can carry but not use an object it in one hand if moving at half Move. Unless you have Claws, you suffer -1 per die to kicking damage, as you're unable to put your full weight behind a kick. [-10]

 No Fine Manipulators

You have no body part more agile than paws or hooves. You cannot use your limbs to make repairs, pick locks, tie knots, wield weapons, etc., or even to grasp firmly. You don't even have any manipulator approaching the overall versatility of the human hand. You're entitled to take your ST and DX with the -40% "No Fine Manipulators" limitation. [-30]
