"Note that the sheer power of the sun causes UV-A to bounce off concrete, asphalt, and windows. Simply using an umbrella or walking in the shade won't offer the Infected protection. Moving about during the day often requires a full hood and mask; this reduces the severity of the allergy two categories (Severe to Mild, for instance), but does not alleviate it completely. Ultraviolet-blocking windows can help make a car safe for transportation in daytime, and UV-treated clothes can add relief—though not to body parts that aren't covered. No combination of gear or magic can reduce the allergy below Mild."

Missing Critter Powers (Page 123, The Mess of Metahumanity)
On page 123, create a new section called New Critter Powers and add the following to this section.

SHIFT
Type: M Action: Complex Range: Self Duration: Special

This power allows the critter to take on the shape of a specific animal or metahuman, and back to its original form. Any purely internal deltaware (or better) implants carry over to the new form; sub-deltaware implants are automatically rejected during the change, causing (total Essence cost of implants x 10, round down)P damage; the character does not recover the Essence from implants lost in this fashion. Purely cosmetic alterations such as piercings and tattoos are lost as well, though this does not injure the critter. When in their new shape, the creature gains access to all non-paranormal abilities innate to that race, including Armor, Natural Weapons, and Enhanced Senses, if any. The creature retains all of its paranormal powers in its new form. Once the critter uses the shift power, it remains in its current form until it decides to shift back. The critter does not suffer a –2 penalty for sustaining this power. This power only affects the creature's physical form, not its clothing or equipment; the process of the change destroys most fabrics.

VANISHING
Type: M Action: Free Range: Self Duration: Special

Simply put, the critter is capable of vanishing without a trace; their material and astral forms entirely go away, without interference from physical or mental barriers. Some critters may use a Complex Action to reappear, but in many cases the Vanishing is triggered by a certain event, such as the critter’s death, that makes re-emergence difficult.

Astral Hazing, pg 119

Replace the Astral Hazing text (179 words) on p.119:
Quote
ASTRAL HAZING
BONUS: 5 KARMA (FOR NON-AWAKENED CHARACTERS), 15 KARMA (FOR AWAKENED CHARACTERS)
A character with this quality has expressed metagenes that somehow catalyze and feed on the character’s darker emotions and negative feelings, disturbing the character’s aura and any ambient mana in her vicinity. For reasons not yet understood, the character becomes an aspected domain in her own right and taints astral space around her wherever she goes: she is a generator of tainted background count. This astral haze affects all attempts to cast magic on, at, or in the character’s vicinity. Whatever the ambient mana conditions are, the character always stands at the heart of a Rating 3 background count (p. 30–32, Street Grimoire) that extends a number of meters from her body equal to her Essence; this background count also impairs her own actions if the character is Awakened. If she remains in one place for long, the background count expands by one meter in every direction every four hours (at the gamemaster’s discretion, with an upper expansion limit of 4 points of background count).

With the following revised version (178 words):
Quote
ASTRAL HAZING
BONUS: 15 KARMA (AWAKENED CHARACTERS ONLY)
A character with this quality has expressed metagenes that somehow catalyze and feed on the character’s darker emotions, negative feelings, and inherent magic, disturbing the character’s aura and any ambient mana in her vicinity. For reasons not yet understood, the character becomes an aspected domain in her own right and taints astral space around her wherever she goes: she is a generator of tainted background count. This astral haze affects all attempts to cast magic on, at, or in the character’s vicinity. Whatever the ambient mana conditions are, the character always stands at the heart of a Rating 3 background count (p. 30–32, Street Grimoire) that extends a number of meters from her body equal to her Essence. The character cannot become acclimated to this background count. If she remains in one place for long, the background count expands by one meter in every direction every four hours, to a maximum radius of (Essence + 4) meters after 16 hours. This quality can only be taken by Awakened characters.
