Traits to money

[Kemedo]

Is it regular doing:

- Chosen Child
- Rich Parents

Draw:
- Pride

Extra-Trait:

- Signature Moves

In this case, a Paladin rich-born, destined to be the king, would have 1.800 gp to expend and a Heavy Armor (Half Plate Masterpiece) at level 1.

Am I miss something?

Sure, that could happen. Seems rather shortsighted, but it works.

Question, can you retrain Traits as you can with Feats?
I bring this up thinking of the Wealth by Level* for PFS, as it would be unfair not to have these Traits remain viable with level, in my opinion, they should continue to stack with WBL*, in which case you would always have that extra gold amount and gear option over the WBL amount.

I´m GMing a character like that. Actually the only thing that he will differ from other is a +1 weapon and a horse with armour. If some point he is niveled to other players, the fair is chance de traits accordlying, not? But my plan is to keep him richer and the leader/baron/king of the group in Kingmaker.

Rich Parents and Signature Moves are both social traits, you can only have one. If that wasn't the case, it would work fine.

[Melkiador]

You can't officially retrain traits, but you can take the extra traits feat and retrain that. But most agree that if you did retrain the traits, you'd need to "pay back" the money you got from them.

As has been pointed out, you can't take two social traits.

Instead, you could potentially consider Well-Provisioned Adventurer, which is an equipment trait. Holy Warrior would get you a MW sword, and Questing Knight gets a heavy horse and half-plate. Then use Signature Moves to fill in whatever item from the package isn't as good.

Although, as others have pointed out, this is generally considered a strong starting option...but one which scales incredibly poorly. And no one should ever be allowed to retrain their traits, especially for this very reason (or the extra traits feat. Period). It's supposed to be a trade-off.
