Describe the solution you'd like

fromUuid("Compendium.wfrp4e-core.psychologies.Q2MCUrG2HppMcvN0").then(item => {
   item = item.toObject()
    let species = args.actor.details.species.value || "of your species"
    item.name = `Animosity (all not ${species})`

If you ask why? Simple, not always character is a human

Why not just fill in your species field? What is the reason it's even left empty?

I know that, but answer the question: Are you fill species field for every NPC and creature? I consider that sometimes this field is empty, and for this case I think that better is replacing "Human" with "of your species"

If I care enough about NPCs to give them corruptions - yes, I fill most of the inputs. Also since 91% of the Empire is Human, it's logical that default for empty field is Human.

I don't disagree with your suggestion, I'm just finding it not impactful since it's not that time consuming to enter species.

Especially that if I make an Elf and I don't fill in the species, then 2-3 months later when I use that NPC I might not remember who it was.

To sum up:

  • "of your species" fits every time, when "Human" can mislead
  • Phrase "of your species" is nothing new, see desc of this mutation
  • This change should not be priority and most important, but will be nice if will made - even in distant future
  • Also 🤪 this change can potentially lead to dystopian lifestyle, because if you drag this mutation on character sheet (with empty species) no additional care of you is needed, which may make you lazzy and inattentive

As I said, I don't disagree, just found it very interesting it's an issue :P

  • may make you lazzy and inattentive

That's the worst case scenario! :o
