Traits

Traits are a part of stats. For example, Arcana is a trait of Intellect, Critical is a trait of Strength, or Persuade is a trait of Charisma. These traits are specific checks for these very specific actions. If you are called to make a check on a trait, lets say a Perception check, then you will roll your d20 and add what ever value is in Perception to the d20 roll. If it beats the challenge of the check, you succeed. 

Traits are determined and affected by the stat that they are a trait of. Your Speed stat will affect what your Acrobatics trait score is, for example. Races, Character Origins, and your Profession may also give you points to your traits. 

Determining Traits

To determine what your trait score is you need to know your stat score. You will use that stat score in the table below to get your trait score.

Using this table, if your Wisdom is 13, you will have a 1 in every Wisdom trait. This will be added to whatever value you already have there from your race, origins, or profession. If your Intellect is a 3, you will have -2 to every Intellect trait. As your stats increase, so in turn will your traits for those stats.
