This is just a really rough draft of it, and some of them need desperate help.So, without further ado:SELECTING TRAITSEvery character starts with two traits. There are a few limitson how you can select your traits, based on the three trait categories. Background traits relate to your character’s history and origin. They cover different climates, terrain, and social positions. You can select no more than one background trait, and you do not have to take one if you don’t want to.Mental traits describe a character’s emotional and intellectual talents. Precise memory, bravery, or an iron will all fall into this category. You can use from zero to two of your trait selections on this category.Physical traits cover a character’s natural talents. They apply to exceptional height, inherently superior strength or endurance, and so forth. You don’t have to select any physical traits, or you can use both your trait selections on them if you wish.Once you select your traits, you cannot change them. You cannot take additional traits later on, as these abilities define characteristics that you developed over the course of many years or as part of your childhood or adolescence.TRAIT CATEGORIESBACKGROUND TRAITSAs discussed earlier, you cannot select more than one background trait. These traits each cover one climate, terrain, social environment, or similar type of origin. Your DM may disallow certain background traits depending on the campaign world. For example, on a world covered with searing hot deserts, you probably shouldn’t play a character who grew up in a frigid arctic environment.MENTAL TRAITSMental traits focus primarily on aspects of a character’s personality, but they also include intellectual talents such as eidetic memory. Such talents are born rather than made, making them suitable options only for 1st-level characters.PHYSICAL TRAITSThe physical traits focus on notable qualities that define a character and dictate how others view him. Thus, these traits tend toward extreme, exaggerated characteristics rather than subtle ones.TRAIT DESCRIPTIONSThe mechanics and detailed descriptions for all three types of character traits appear below in alphabetical order. Each of the three dozen descriptions includes the trait’s name, category, a basic overview of what it provides a character, its mechanics, and any applicable options.</blockquote>
