Hey, good eye. But yeah, you can't have both of those, it just don't
make sense. I think what's going on, however, is the taint will magnify
whatever unlikeable traits the character has, and this will be different
for every character. Example: the character has a strength or vigor in
the 1d4-1d6 area, the taint will obviously magnify his weak frame into
something weaker, so give him Scrawny. On the other hand, if the
character has d12 strength and vigor, go with Obese.

Looks like an alternative for obese characters to me. I don't have the
book in front of me, but it occurs to me, what happens if the character
is already scrawny? He can't get obese without losing the scrawniness,
is there an alternative for obese? Should we just give the character
Tuckered instead?
