Traits[edit]
Traits, like Feats, have a positive effect, but they also have a negative one to balance it. Characters can have one, two, or zero Traits. Humans have the option of choosing a third Trait.
Beta Software I hope you're not afraid of bugs: You gain two additional Action Points at every level, but cannot get critical hits (natural 20s still hit automatically) and your movement speed is halved. (Robot and Cyborg only.)
Bruiser The bigger they are, the slower they fall: +2 Melee/Unarmed Damage, -2 Initiative.
Built to Destroy The flamer that burns twice as bright burns half as long: Critical Hit chance is increased by 1 (20 becomes 19-20, 19-20 becomes 18-20, and so on), but the chance of a weapon breaking also increases by 1 (1-2 instead of 1, mw weapons increase from 0-1).
Chem Reliant I can stop anytime I want!: The DC to resist addiction is increased by 5, but the satisfaction period is doubled. (Robots and Ghouls can't take this trait.)
Chem Resistant Say nope to dope: The DC to resist addiction is decreased by 5, but the satisfaction period is halved. (Robots and Ghouls can't take this trait.)
Claustrophobia The walls are closing on me!: You gain +1 to all ability scores while outdoors, but suffer -1 to all ability scores while indoors.
Domesticated No pooping on the carpet!: You have a +2 bonus to Intelligence, but you don't add your Strength bonus to unarmed or attacks damage. (Humans, Ghouls and Super Mutants cannot take this trait.)
Early Bird ...gets the worm: +2 to all skills in the morning (6:00 AM-11:59 AM), -2 to all skills at night (8:00 PM-5:59 AM). (Robots can't take this trait.)
EMP Shielding Electro-Mechanical Protectron?: The robot has DR 2 vs energy-based attacks (meaning electricity, lasers, etc), but your Dexterity suffers a -2 penalty. (Robots and Cyborg only.)
Fanatic Me? Wrong!?!?: You gain a +2 species bonus to Wisdom, but incur a -2 penalty to Charisma.
Fast Metabolism Rads aren't radical: Your healing rate increases by 1, but Fort saves against poison and radiation receive a -2. (Ghouls, , Super Mutants and Robots can't take this trait.)
Fast Shot Aim isn't in my vocabulary: +2 to attacks with shotguns, assault rifles, flamers, slings, and other ranged weapons as the GM deems appropriate, -2 to attacks with pistols, sniper rifles, bows, thrown weapons, and other ranged weapons the GM deems appropriate. (Human, Cyborg, Ghoul and Super Mutant only.)
Fear the Reaper We can be like they are: You gain the Human "Adaptable" racial trait, but every time you level up, you must make a successful level check. If you fail three checks, your character turns Feral. (Ghoul only)
Feral Kid You're a real wild child: Your range with thrown weapons (such as knives, grenades, etc.) is doubled and your speed is increased by 10 feet, but you can't put skill points into Bluff, Diplomacy, Gather Information or Knowledge (any). (Human only.)
Finesse Your attacks show a lot of finesse: -2 to damage to all attacks, +2 to attack rolls for purposes of determining critical hit results.
Four Eyes Won't stop you from being bullied: -2 to the Spot and Search skills when attempting to qualify for feats, but wearing glasses (pre-war artifacts rarely found cheap/intact) gives you a +2 bonus to Spot and Search checks (therefore countering the effects of the -2 along with giving a normal bonus when not choosing feats).
Gifted Yeah, you're gifted alright: You gain a +2 bonus to all ability scores, but you gain 1/2 the amount of skill points you are supposed to at level one and every level thereafter (to a minimum of 1).
Glowing One Walking night-light: The Ghoul emits a constant light 40 feet in all directions and is healed by Moderate Radiation or higher(at 2 HP per round per radiation level), but suffers a -1 to Defense and emits constant Mild Radiation. (Ghoul only.)
Good Natured Now sir, what is a gun?: Trade the Simple Weapons Feat for any non-combat feat you qualify for.

Heavy Handed You swing harder, not better: +2 to damage Melee/Unarmed attacks, -2 to attack rolls for purposes of determining critical hit results.
Hoarder It'll come in handy some day: Your carrying weight is increased by 25 pounds, but suffer a -1 to all abilities when carrying less than a light load.

Loose Cannon You attack faster, not farther: +2 to Initiative, but your range for ranged weapons (guns, knives, grenades, ect.) is halved.
