Hair Growth Difference
You have reduced (70%) or excessive (30%) hair growth relative to your ancestry. Choose or roll on the following table.
| IE | Reduced | Additional (Cumulative) |
| 1 | Missing 50%+ of hair on top of head | Body hair noticeably thicker than average |
| 2 | Bald head | Noticeable hair growth in unusual places |
| 3 | No hair on face & head | Thick fast-growing facial hair |
| 4 | No hair on body | Body, including face, covered in thick hair except nose, palms, & soles |
Both of these are mostly cosmetic and cultural, which may result in a −(IE) penalty on certain Charisma checks, depending on the culture. The player and GM should discuss the effect in their campaign world. In extremely hot or cold environments, the saving throws as outlined in official fifth edition sources have a bonus or penalty of 1/2 per IE accordingly.
