🎭 Traits

Every character trait in the game, grouped by type. The rating columns show what each trait adds to Wisdom, Charisma, Courage and Discipline.

The Fallback column holds ratings that apply only when that stat isn't already set another way. Most traits come from events, so the Acquired column lists only what the game data states: the minimum age, the childhood adjective, injury rolls and recovery odds. For what parents pass to children, see Trait Inheritance. For the ten archetypes, see Archetypes.
