I had a couple PCs write up some interesting backgrounds, but there where no good traits to really sync up with what the had written.

I really like how the trait system works and rewards the PCs for thier background choices. So, I can up with two new traits. I figured I would post them so others could use them:

University Educated: While you lack formal experience in the field, you have spend numerous years studying in dark libraries and small classrooms.

Benefit: You gain a +1 trait bonus to Knowledge (history) and Knowledge (geography) checks. In addition, one of these skills (your choice) is always a class skill for you.

Uncouth: You have not washed in years. While this does not engender you to others, you have been exposed to numerous germs and diseases.

Benefit: You get +1 to Fortitude saves.


Here are some fun traits I made up for a campaign I am running:

Court Etiquette: +1 to Diplomacy, Knowledge Local or Knowledge Nobility Skill Checks (Only One Allowed)

Cartographer: +1 to Knowledge Dungeoneering, Geography or Nature Skill Checks (Only One Allowed)

Fieldsmen: +1 to Craft, Heal or Survival Skill Checks (Only One Allowed)

Grand Lodge

Islander: You have been raised with the ocean as your playground. You gain a +1 to Swim checks and Swim is considered a class skill for you. Additionally, you gain a +2 to Survival checks while at sea.
