How about a Blog post? Since it's unlikely there'll be a chance to visit Osirion for region specific traits for quite some time.Is anybody actually working on a web enhancement? I was reading through the PDF over the weekend and ideas for traits kept popping into my head.Sounds like web enhancement time!* ;)
No. There's no Osirion web enhancement in the works. We don't have the resources or time to do something like this.
What we WILL have, though, is the basic trait rules that first appeared in the Legacy of Fire Player's Guide as a separate PDF you can use. It'll be a free download, so folks won't need the Legacy of Fire Player's Guide to know how to use Character Traits.
Also very unlikely. Especially not likely until after we get all our Gen Con releases and Pathfinder RGP & Pathfinder Bestiary projects AND launching the next adventure path off our plates. There are bigger fish to fry, alas—and our blog isn't really the place to post new game rules content anyway.

Except for feats for psydodragons to be able to kill imps apparently.... um... i mean.. Just kidding
SOLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No! That's the whole point! ;-P
It should say
"GIVEN AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
It shold be reasonable to take the Osirion feats from Pathfinder Society Guide, downgrade each of them to be about half as powerful, and offer them as traits. (Traits being about half as useful as feats.)
Great Chris!
And I agree with you. We can fill in this gap without needing to rely on official cannon. If everyone comes up with just one appropriate Trait for Osirion we'll soon be overflowing with them. Too bad there's not a voting system...
Elementary Education (Osirion): You were raised among the tribes of the desert and have an early education into the taxonomy and ways of the elemental tribes. You gain a +1 Trait Bonus to Knowledge (Elementals) and it is always a class skill for you.
Regional Traits
Keep in mind, these haven't been vetted by a developer so take them with a grain of salt balancewise.
An Tomb Treader: Your exposure to the An tradition of masonry has given you an instinctive ability to find your way out of any structure. Once each day you can, if inside a man-made structure, make a Survival check with a DC of 20. If you succeed in this check you retrace your steps and find the entrance you used to get inside.
Eto Haggler: The mercantile ambiance of Eto has made you very shrewd when trying to find, or strike, bargains. You get a +1 trait bonus on Appraise and Bluff checks.
Hetkoshu Wrestler: You are one of the courageous few who dares to tackle river crocodiles with your bare hands; and you have the scars to prove it! You get a +4 trait bonus to grapple checks made while underwater.
Ipeq Reservist: The martial atmosphere of Ipeq has given you a soldier's instinct for fighting as part of a unit. The first time you strike a creature you get a +1 trait bonus to damage if it has already been damaged by an ally in that round. If your ally also has this trait you deal +2 damage instead.
Shiman-Sehk Scavenger: The abundance of food and water at Shiman-Sehk, and their scarcity elsewhere, has left you with a ferocious drive to avoid the rigors of hunger and thirst. You get a +2 trait bonus on Search and Survival checks made for the purpose of finding or locating food and drink.
Tephu Scholar: The information you gleaned while poring through the historical archives of Tephu sometimes proves useful in other fields too. Once each day, you can, when making a Knowledge check choose to first make a Knowledge (History) check with a DC of 20. You gain a trait bonus on that check equal to amount by which you exceeded the DC of the Knowledge (history) check. You do not suffer a penalty if you fail the check.
Totra Pride: The legacy of oppression suffered by the citizens of Totra makes you very hostile towards anyone who tries to push you around. You get a +2 trait bonus on your next attack roll made against any creature that unsuccessfully targets you with a fear effect. This bonus increases to +4 against creatures who tried, but failed, to intimidate you.
Wati Remedies: After listening to countless tales of the ancient pestilence that devastated Wati you find yourself almost instinctively taking steps to keep yourself, and your friends, free from contracting any sort of illness. Your constant vigilance gives you a +1 trait bonus on Fortitude saving throws against diseases. In addition, you get a +2 trait bonus on any Heal check made to treat a disease.
So, did I kill this thread or something? Anybody else got some trait ideas they want to share?

I'll try to go through yours and edit them tonight.

Hal, I thought your traits were a great addition and adopted them for my campaign with only minor changes!
