A Guide to Trait Usage

[Rich H]

Hi All,

A discussion of traits and how they are used within the game is an oft explored topic. Poosticks7 and others contributed to a list of traits and their usage and others forum members have provided some excellent pieces of advice through numerous threads over the years.

I promised to do this awhile back but significant work commitments have gotten in the way - hey, we all have to earn a crust, don't we!?! But now I've finally compiled a little supplement bringing the many discussions together into one document that can perhaps be used by LMs and their players to aid in getting the most out of traits.

Hope it helps.

Ta,
Rich

Feedback welcomed ladies and gents!

Good stuff Rich, Pictures are always helpful lol.

This should help both newcomers and old hands, (I'm glad I put so much effort in now)

Your last line sums it up perfectly.

I believe that last line was mine!

[poosticks7]

Sorry Stormcrow, then well done you

[Rich H]

Cheers gents... I really wanted to add a little guide at the end of the list of traits but it was difficult to cut through the discussions and get to what I considered to be the 'truth' of the matter in a clear and concise way. I hope I got the balance right.

A fantastic reference! I'll circulate it with my players.

I'm still thinking on how to 'streamline' the usage of Traits, especially in connection with Advancement points... I might start a thread about this soon(ish!).

Many thanks to everyone involved!

Hope you're well.

Wow!

You've put a tremendous amount of work into this Rich & it's very helpful.

I especially like the way you break them down per action/trait - I think I'll use these for my game.

Thank you
