Haste:
- better defenses
- harder to defend against

Quicken:
- much better defences (compared to haste)
- much harder to defend against (compared to haste)
- +1 melee attack

Overall, haste is cool to have and quicken is just pure ownage.

Meta makes you hungry/thirsty faster.

Meta makes bleeding a lot worse.

Meta can only go on targets with a roughly normal metabolism.

Meta gives an extra attack.

A giant with metabolic quickening seems to be full on one chicken from hamsah where normally it takes two. Bit of a pain in the neck, because I try to avoid food that makes me completely full.
