Traits are like other skills, but are not subject to skill decay.

Traits are the ''Journey'' mechanical equivalent to derived stats: they are often derived from your primary stats, which in ''Journey'' are your Attributes.

All characters have all traits; however, that does not mean that you have to improve them.

==Terms==

'''Root'''
: The trait calls upon the following other dice pools, and adds them to its total dice pool.

'''XP Cost/Rank'''
: The amount of XP you need to spend to improve this trait a rank.
