Help & getting started

Every race has various traits that can impact the character both positively and negatively. The traits affect both players and NPCs, and can dramatically change the play style for each race. Your traits are no longer fixed at birth. Certain quests and deeds can grant you a trait you were not born with, or remove a negative trait your race normally carries. Some traits can also be granted temporarily and will fade on their own. The 'Traits' command shows where each of your traits came from: Racial the trait your race is born with Earned a trait you gained through a quest or a deed Temporary a granted trait that will fade, with time left Removed a racial trait you have had taken away Earning a stronger version of a trait replaces the weaker one rather than adding to it, so a stronger rank always takes the place of the lesser. If you ever lose the stronger version, your racial trait returns.
