Subtraits

Each trait and subtrait corresponds to a potential test your character may make. Your circumstances change what test will be necessary.

Gifted Subtraits

Some species and talents grant "gifted" subtraits, representing exceptional natural aptitude in those areas. Gifted subtraits have two important effects:

1. Doubled Maximum - The maximum score for a gifted subtrait is double the normal limit. For example, if you have a Body score of 4 and are gifted in Fortitude, you may have a maximum Fortitude of 8 instead of 4.

2. Minimum Modifier - Gifted subtraits cannot have a modifier less than +0, even if their score would normally result in a negative modifier.

Gifted subtraits are marked on character sheets when creating a character and are typically species-specific or granted by certain talents.
