Characters acquiring additional traits - 6/30/2014 11:53:02 PM

Hi!

I have toyed around with creating characters with different specific traits. I have discovered recently that even though you can specify 3 traits in the race character file, a character can still gain random other traits. Is this working as intended?

The character has the three traits I specified, but then is able to somehow gain an additional random trait.

Working as designed DrApostle.

Characters may start with up to 3 traits, but certain special race events in the
game can increase it to 4 or more for a select character. Characters may also gain traits. Traits can increase the baseline abilities or add new abilities. Remember though that Characters will not gain new skills or traits until their current ones are revealed, either initially at appearance (depending upon role) or after performing a required duty (i.e. Troop General with troops assaulting or defending a colony, Fleet Admiral in a space battle, etc.).

Are the acquired traits related to how the character is handled...for example if the character does something bad is he/she more likely to acquire a negative trait and a good outcome gives a positive trait? Or is it completely random?

Very good Euler! It is randomized, but just the way you stated. In addition, the race Leader
(and Governor if located at that particular characters location) character's skills/traits that can be in relation to a character also affects it.
