Compiled Traits?


Homebrew and House Rules

Dark Archive

Anyone doing a compiled list of traits? Either a list or actual full document listing them in one place? I want to offer them to my players for character creation but not sure where to find all of them beyond the free traits guide.

There isn't a compiled list out there.
The traits are in the Player's Guides for the various AP's.
(Some of those are free, some are not.)

Not sure if it would be 'kosher' to post the entire list, definitely not with the descriptions.
There's a few threads with homebrew traits out there too.

Well, it's certainly kosher to post a list of the names, the sources, and the page numbers. Maybe not so much what they actually do.

There also would need to be a difference marked between the general ones and the adventure path-specific ones. For example, the Path of Fire players guide (which was sent out as a freebie to some Paizo purchasers) has one called "Finding Haleen" which is rather overpowered except that it's balanced by the RP of actually trying to find Haleen in the story.

Since there is no "Haleen" in my homebrew game, I told my players it was not allowed, nor was genericizing it to "Desperately Seeking Susan" as I didn't want to deal with extra NPCs.

There aren't that many traits out there other than in the PRC http://www.d20pfsrd.com/Home/traits

There are a few in the Elves book, RoTRL Players guide, Cheliax and a couple others. Not a very satisfying list. I am hoping that the advanced player's option book will have another 50 or so.

Actually all the traits are OGC from what I understand. (You just have to remove any Golarion specific names. for example, a feat linked to the Goddess of Monsters, changed to "Marked by monsters" or something like that.)


Besides the free web enhancement, I believe the various traits can be found in the following:

Player's Guide to Curse of the Crimson Throne - the first significant indication of traits, introduced in this product as "background traits". It is a result of this Adventure Path's background traits that I house rule one campaign trait and two free traits for all PCs.

Player's Guide to the Second Darkness - this introduced traits themselves, containing the precursor to the current traits on the aforementioned web enhancement.

Pathfinder Companions:

  • Elves of Golarion - elf-specific traits.
  • Cheliax, Empire of Devils
  • Legacy of Fire Player's Guide
  • Taldor, Echoes of Glory
  • Qadira, Gateway to the East

Downloads:

  • Council of Thieves Player's Guide
  • The aforementioned traits web enhancement

That's all the stuff I have on traits - hope it helps!
