RASGOS
Traits
are aspects of a character's personality, background, or physique
that make him better at some activities and worse at others. In
many ways, traits resemble feats: A character can have only a
limited number of traits, and each trait provides some benefit.
Unlike feats, however, traits always carry a corresponding
drawback. In addition to their game effects, traits suggest
characteristics about the character's personality that might lead
to interesting roleplaying opportunities. Together with a
character's class and feat selection, traits offer a way for game
mechanics to encourage deeper character backgrounds and
consistent roleplaying.
Traits serve as an interesting starting point for roleplaying, reminding players of their characters' most prominent strengths and weaknesses. However, roleplaying a certain aspect of a character's personality does not require possessing the trait. For example, a paladin can be honest and forthright without the Honesto trait. The player should roleplay the character consistently even though the character's honesty has no effect on his skill checks.
A character can begin play with up to two traits, chosen by the player at the time of character creation. Alternatively, the game master can require players to roll on Tabla: Carácter Rasgos to determine the traits possessed by their characters.
As characters advance in level and ability, they might want to get rid of the traits that they chose at the beginning of play. Although characters cannot rid themselves of a trait directly, specific feats, skill ranks, or magic items can compensate for the penalties imposed by a trait. For example, an abrasive character can work on becoming more personable by spending skill points to gain a rank in Farol and a rank in Diplomacia, thereby offsetting the drawback from the Abrasivo trait.
If the game master allows it, players may add traits to their characters after 1st level. The game master might allow a player to assign a trait to her character after she has roleplayed the character in a manner consistent with the trait in question, or after a traumatic or life changing experience (after dying, a character might develop the Cauto trait or the Agresivo trait). If the game master includes this option, a character should gain a new trait no more frequently than once every five levels.
