This page is one giant table of traits, organized into three categories: what the character knows, what they are, and what they can do. These traits are mainly for player characters. If you're after some more general information on player characters or how to make a character in Medaevum, consider this page: [[Player Characters]].
This is the master list of all traits in the system, in alphabetical order. If I forget any, let me know.


If a trait has "Teacher" listed as a prerequisite, that means the character must find someone who already has the trait and is willing to teach them in order to adopt it themselves.
If you're after some more general information on player characters or how to make a character in Medaevum, consider this page: [[Character Creation]].


==General Traits==
=A=
These are traits that have no or minimal prerequisites to adoption. Traits with no prerequisites (or traits whose prerequisites can be met by adopting traits with no prerequisite) can be chosen at character creation.


For example, a Valleyman can adopt the trait Inhumanly Strong but only if they take the trait Very Strong as well. A human could start as Very Strong, but only if they also take the trait Strong.

!Name !! Prerequisites !! Description
|-
| Strong || None || This character is stronger than most, and in matters of raw strength will triumph over anyone without this trait.
|-
| Very Strong || Strong || Even among strong persons, this character is considered exceptional.
|-

|-
| Parkour! || None || This character can scale two meter barriers without taking an action, and can pull themselves up three meter barriers if they use their action to do so.

==Lore Traits==
=D=
These are traits that have virtually no basis in skill - beside for skill in research, perhaps - but which represent the character's vast knowledge on the subject.

!Name !! Prerequisites !! Description
|-
| Bushcraft || Teacher || The character is adept with general survival skills and will know their way around the wilds.

==Languages==
=F=
Nostrum is the common trade language of the world, and it is assumed that everyone starts with at least the knowledge of Nostrum and their homeland. However, if someone learns a language that is not Nostrum or the language of their homeland, then it counts against their total number of traits.

==Trades==

These are traits that represent skill with their given trade. While each require a teacher as a prerequisite, a character can choose to start with one of these traits at character creation if they so choose.
