Traits

This is a list of the Traits that a Falling Sky character can have.

At the moment, a characters should have all of the Free Traits, one free Income Trait, one free Lore Trait, and up to five other traits. You may choose less Traits than this if you wish to choose later.

Some Traits have prerequisites; if they do, you must have the prerequisite trait first before you can take that Trait.

Some Traits are repeatable: they can be used once an encounter, and you can spend 1 Stamina Point (SP) to use them again. These traits are marked with the ¤ symbol.

Retraining

In between events, you may unlearn one Trait that you know per event. You can't unlearn a trait that is a prerequisite for another Trait you have.

Wits

Some Traits expend your Wits. You can't use another trait that expends Wits until you have recharged; this takes ten seconds from the moment you spent it. These traits are marked with the † symbol.

For example, a character with the Swashbuckler Trait can call TRIPLE every ten seconds.
