I was under the impression that the Lunar way has a reduced otherworld penalty, -10 not -20.  

But on rechecking the chapter on The Lunar Way (ILH" p23-32) I could find no mention of this. Except a mention that Moon Eye only has a -10 penalty in identifying creatures from the otherworlds.  

This leads to an obvious question. Is this reduced penalty just a feature of Moon Eye or was it intended to be more general? Representing their familiarity with their mixed otherworld and therefore more accepting of the pure otherworlds.
