TRAITS
Traits are facts about the character's background, skills, characteristics.THE BASICS
Characters start with up to two Traits. Traits might have some kind of non-combat benefit (maybe a Cave Elf knows something about this kind of cave, maybe a rat picker could recognize this disease).
Pick a Birth and non-birth Trait from the below or roll a d20 on the one and 3d20 on the other.
These are some recently used traits.
