*Crosspost from Legacy of Fire discussion*
In the traits pdf it says that "A character can only have one trait from each particular trait category or subcategory."
So we have our categories: Basic, Campaign, Race, Region and Religion. And then we have subcategories: Basic/Combat, Basic/Religion, Basic/Social, Basic/Magic as well as Race/Region and Race/Religion (Elves of Golarion) and IIRC there's a couple more (I'm doing this without the books/files in front of me).
Now then, the way I understand it is this: if I take, for example, a Basic/Religion trait I then cannot take a trait from the other three subcategories in the Basic category, I have to pick from one of the other four categories. And, if the category has them, from a different subcategory as well - say I'm playing an elf and I've picked from the Basic/Religion category/subcategory, I then could not select a trait from the Race/Religion subcategory.
Am I getting this right or do people have different thoughts on this?
