5051 The Concentrated frequent emotion is a major advantage, boosting both Fitness and Critical Thinking skill growth. This makes Social Activists efficient learners for analytical and physical skills. The extended Discomfort is the main drawback; avoid placing the Zoi in uncomfortable environments (dirty homes, crowded spaces, conflict situations) as the negative effects persist longer.
