Ex: if he is an elephant faunus and only generally has a bigger height and strength factor and the ability to have ivory cover his arms to safice as an activatable tuskes. after much number crushing, he would be more of a tanky character, but to counteract this, i would give him a negative where he gets a nerf to dex rolls for his big and imposing size. Wut. How does that even...

RWBY Faunus don't have 'retractable' or 'activatable' animal traits unless the animal in question has them. An elephants tusks don't 'activate' or retract' they're simply there. An elephant faunus would simply have tusks be there. Tukson had retractable claws because he's a cat - most cats have retractable claws. Tyrian hid his tail by wrapping it around his waist as a belt, it wasn't 'activated' in any way. Maybe that was the wrong wording, it generally was asked what traits do they get from the animal they choose, letting the hair on their arms harden like ivory was asked and I gave it to him. Tyrian about to poisen someone, his eyes turned purple...otherwise I'm pretty sure a sting would have been done without venom.
