Racial Capacities & Handicaps: Ilfs have the following special capacities and handicaps:
 * 1) Ilfs have a natural affinity with normal animals. This provides for a check against Speed (multiplied by four) to see if a single specimen can be called or calmed or controlled so as to prevent attack or flight.
 * 2) Ilf visual capacity is equivalent to human, but they are able to see in total darkness as if illumination were equal to dim twilight.
 * 3) Ilfs tend to be disorderly in thinking and actions, gullible, judgmental, and rash.
 * 4) A lack of self-discipline, combined with good looks, often get Ilfs into trouble.
