Traits for Pathfinder


Product Discussion


I've been hoping to find an updated version of the Feats provided so far for the Pathfinder RPG. The original 40 basic traits presented in Second Darkness adventure path seem to have been updated from D&D 3.5 to a PFRPG version in the free download .pdf that's available on this website, but the campaign specific traits and the Elves of Golarion traits have not been included in this document. I imagine that the Dwarf traits presented in Dwarves of Golarion are up to date, but that just means that they'll lopsided next to the Elves of Golarion traits. I'd also like to see campaign specific traits for Second Darkness and Legacy of Fire written up in PFRPG version, and if any have been added later, ones for Rise of the Runelords would be nice too.

Anyone seen these written up somewhere? An official version would be nice, but in the absence of that I'll settle for someone else's home-brewed conversions.


I've been updating them as I automated them in my Pathfinder Character Excelerator sheet (see the link in my profile). The sheet also consolidates all feats and traits released by Paizo (as well as some other PRPG 3rd party folks), so it's a handy reference to what feat or trait is in what source...

Thanks for the feedback, Erian... no word from others as yet whether an official updated version has been created, or is in the works...?

No, I haven't seen anything official. Given the focus on the Advanced Players Guide right now, I'm not too hopefully anything updating the older stuff will be out in 2010. However, mention has been made that they might be updated in the future. Until that time, I've found that most of them can be used as is or tweaked in a fairly logical fashion. A few, like those that deal with drastically changed mechanics such as the combat maneuvers, take a bit more finessing...


I'd even expect to see traits in the APG; its a solid feature, one I thoroughly enjoy and would love to see more support for.

My players love the traits feature as well. It actually has helped them develop back that they couldn't previously explain why they would have certain traits.

It's something they and I enjoy.
