Journey: Traits

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.
