Yep, +1 more boon/bane pair.

Another pair please!

i demand more also

Keep the dice rolling

There are few species, Xeno or not, which don't have an advantage to call their own. These Xenos happen to have two.

Which is their second?

5

The Xenos are Cunning, with insidious minds weaving sinister plots. Very few could be considered dullards by humanity's standards, far more, arguably most are bright, even brilliant. This leaves them at a heightened risk of tech-heresy if unsupervised. When their small, tactically convenient size is taken into account, the risk is amplified considerably. Occasional lobotomies on promising subjects may be needed.

12,8

The Xenos are Venerable with elders that may remember the very days of the Great Crusade, though they themselves weren't exterminated, by luck or guile. It's questionable they could've mustered sufficient force. If left unharmed, these Xenos are almost untouched by the rigors of time, eventually becoming living link to their past, but in a galaxy such as this, is being spared the rigours of age long enough to see the whole of their species subjugated worth it?

+1 to Cunning
I just can't find enough advantages to Venerable since it's so...not broadly useful and risks problems like "they remember the days before you conquered them" and "if they roll badly on tech then they don't have any useful information to share with you because they just straight up didn't notice anything cool going on in the galaxy".

I am tempted by allying with Yoda's species, but the possible benefits of cunning are hard to pass up.

+1 Cunning

Cunning is trusting the plan.

Cunning is trusting the plan.

The Xenos are Cunning, for all of their weakness, for all of their frailty, a mind beyond their meat swells and simmers, contemplating unknowable schemes and heresies within heresies. Fear the Xenos, not for its power, but for its works.

For all of the gifts that mother nature is willing to give its bastard, alien spawn, it is all to willing to take that and more away. The Xenos are lesser than mankind, this cannot be forgotten.

The Xenos are Weak which should come as no suprise whatsoever, given their miniscule physiology. It's likely a human child could match or surpass an example of their kind in terms of sheer brawn. They will have to be useful in other ways than hard labour, although they can still do hard labour, only inefficiently and it's rather difficult to coerce them.

3

The Xenos are Fragile, they might as well be made of glass for all of the resilience they show to trauma. How worthless is a will of the hardest steel if it should be housed in a vessel of wet clay? The Xenos are hardly worthy of your contempt, pity them, for they are not of Terra.

Weak seems the lesser evil.
EDIT: we should probably stop rolling traits, don't want the xenos to be too potentially subversive/useless.

[Glass]

Weak, I think. Proper use of them need not involve their physical capabilities.

After this, I think we're good and done with boons/banes.

[darkwarlock3]

+1 to weak, cause i find it funny

[Madman198237]

Fragile because that way we only have ONE downside we need to offside, more potent though it may be.

Also, yes, no more traits after this.

The Xenos are Weak as befits and is to be expected from their lowly stature.

Evolution can only go so far but here it could go further. Do they have a third boon with a third bane or is their genome already developed enough to meet the grim darkness of the galaxy?
