🎭 Traits

Every character trait in trait.xml, grouped the way the game flags them. Rating columns show the trait's Wisdom / Charisma / Courage / Discipline contribution (° marks a fallback value, used when the rating isn't already set). Most traits are granted by events; the Acquired column lists only what the XML states directly — minimum age, the childhood adjective and injury rolls, recovery odds. Which child traits a parent can pass on lives on Trait Inheritance; the ten archetypes are detailed on Archetypes.
