How about some more character traits?

Everyday is a new idea at ThroatPunchGames! I've been doing some thinking and the last few days have been traits. What do you guys think of these?

Warriors Honor-Trait-Whenever you encounter another warrior in piece time you want to challenge them to a nonlethal dual. The nature of the dual is a fight to first blood using nonlethal blows. If you Win the dual, you gain a +2 bonus to social checks with this character as you have proven yourself superior to them. If you fail, you gain a -2 penalty to social checks due to your overawe of the character. If the character will not dual you, you consider the person below you granting a +1 bonus in intimidate checks and a -1 penalty to diplomacy checks.

Romantic Partner-talent-two characters are required to have this talent if any character takes this talent-while a character with this talent is attacking an enemy threatening another character with this talent, the attacking character gains a +1attack bonus and the DC of all spells and abilities increases by +1. If one character with this trait dies then all others in this talent group gain a -1 penalty to attacks until they gain one level.

Dumb Luck-When you want to use a skill that you are untrained in, you may roll a d6. If you roll a 6, you are considered trained in the skill with the most number of ranks possible for your level. You may only gain the benefit of rolling a 6 once per day.
Obsessive Compulsive Fanaticism- Mental Trait-Your character is obsessed with a single interest. This can range from a love of Gothic architecture to goblin language verb conjugation. On any knowledge roll that is closely related to your interest, you gain a +5 bonus to the roll. However, whenever an object of your obsession is nearby and you are not actively working with or discussing it, you take a -2 penalty to all skill rolls.
