Traits are special character customization options which serve to further differentiate characters from each other. There are 4 types of Traits : Standard, Racial, Background (Positive) and Background (Negative). A few examples are presented below
Standard Traits
These Traits can be purchased at any time, although certain special Traits might only be unlocked via gameplay. Example Standard Traits : Fast Strike - (Requires Melee Combat lvl 6) - Increases melee attack speed by 10% per level. Max level : 2 Effortless Defense - (Requires Block lvl 7) - Decreases stamina drain for blocking and parrying by 20% per level. Max level : 2 Artful Dodger - (Requires Dodge lvl 10) - -60% Dodge Penalty from behind, -40% Trip chance. Max level : 1 Efficient Crafting - (Requires Nothing) - All crafting costs reduced by 10% per level. Max level : 3
Racial Traits
Racial Traits can only be purchased during character creation. These Traits all have a specific race a requirement. The more exotic (and costly) the race, the more exotic the Racial Traits open to them. Each race has a pool of multiple Traits available to them (except Mixed Bloods). Racial traits have only one level per Trait. Example Racial Traits : Hunting Tradition - (Requires Ontaran Race) - +10 Attack Rating and +10% damage with bows. Stubborn - (Requires Venthir Race) - +10 Mental Resistance and +10 to Concentration checks. Seaborn - (Requires Mulran Race) - +20% Swim Endurance, +4 Swim Speed, +30% breath underwater. Spirit Dance - (Requires Rhyth Race) - Once per day you can call on your ancestors to guide you in combat. You gain +30 to Attack Rating and Dodge Rating for 5 minutes. Natural Craftsman - (Requires Talun Race) - Reduces all crafting costs by 20%. Clawed - (Requires Shar Race) - +10% Unarmed Damage. Deadened Flesh - (Requires Lazar Race) - +20% Pain resistance, +10% cold resistance.
Background Traits
These Traits represent some special characteristic present in the character at the start of the game, either positive or negative. These Traits cannot be purchased after character creation. Note, negative background traits do not cost BP, instead they give the player extra BP to spend elsewhere. In other words you can purchase more positive characteristics if you take a few negative Traits for your character. Example Positive Background Traits : Attractive - +35 Seduction Rating per level. Max level: 2 Strong Back - +30% max carry weight. Max level : 1 Example Negative Background Traits : Frail Bones - -10% Physical Resistance. Max level : 1 Addiction (Cadis Root) - You must consume one dose of Cadis Root Extract per level every 5 days or suffer worsening withdrawl symptoms. Max level : 3
