Hey Nilla!
These are some great suggestions/points/questions. We've been talking and have come up with the following answers/solutions.
1) we are going to change the description of the 1-space trait of Scaling to: "A type of body armor consisting of scales that are more resistant to damage than regular skin except along the underside of the horse. The scale color matches the original coat. Alternatively, scales can be scattered on coat." That will make them much more a middle ground between the 0-space aesthetic only scales and the 2-space Dragon Scales.
2) we are tweaking the description of dragon vision to the following: "Can see extreme distances, in the dark, and can switch vision over to see heat signatures. Some users of dragon vision may have reptilian and/or uncontrollably color-changing eyes." So it's up to the player if the horse with dragon vision has reptilian or uncontrollably color-changing eyes
3) Trait negation does always come with some sort of limitation. it's up to the player what that limitation is, but it does need to be run by the officers if it is a limitation that is not already listed in the database. We're tweaking and adding some trait definitions to make this more clear. Mindblocking (2 space) will now be: "The ability to block the effects of all mental traits such as mind reading, dream manipulation, mind control, etc. The user can only block the effects of these traits on themselves." Trait Immunity will become a 3 space trait that incorporates both Mindblocking and all of the specific elemental immunities.
