So I was looking over Runner's Companion and checking out the meta variants when I noticed something weird about the Night Ones. They cost 35 BP and you get the following bonus. Keen Ears ( +5 BP) and Low-light Vision (free cuz you're an elf) but you end up with Allergy (Sun Light, Mild, -10BP), Unusual Hair (-5 BP), Nocturnal (-10 BP).

So if you add that up you get 25 points of negative qualities for 5 points of positive ones and your race costs 5 points more than a standard elf. Is there some attribute adjustment missing somewhere or what?

Seems to me they get shafted when compared to the other variants. Compare this with the Wakyambi for example, who also cost 35 BP and get Celerity and Elongated Limbs (+5BP each) and Low-light vision (free again cuz you're an elf) with no negative qualities. Was this corrected somewhere? There is no errata for RC and my version (hardcover) is a first printing.
