In Composite Human's profile, it says this:
Pain Manipulation immunity (CIP is a condition that causes a person to feel no pain)
Uhh, isn't this a weakness? As people with CIP die due to not noticing illnesses or injuries? You know, pain is important, as it means that something is harming your body, in which, results into reflexes in order to avoid the cause of the pain.
Just imagine, touching an extremely heated object without knowing that it is hot, your reflex would be to pull your hands and stop touching it when the nervous system knows it's hot and it sends signals onto your body but if you don't receive physical pain, it'll just make you ignorant and susceptible from hidden danger. Though, it doesn't have to be just related to reflexes when receiving pain, it's just, being ignorant alone to what's harming your body is very bad.
However, this is just an example and it could be a bad example, there could be other situations that explain the point better.
Is this considered as a weakness? If so, should this remain and be added as a weakness? Or should it be removed from the abilities to remove the weakness? As it says in the profile: ("The Composite Human is a combination of all our strengths, skills and abilities at our peak, minus our weaknesses and downfalls") but the convenience of being resistant to pain would be gone.
I am curious.
