traits

To create and validate custom character traits, you define a structured schema enforcing required fields like name, description, quirk, and modifiers for attributes, skills, and starting items. This ensures consistent gameplay modifiers and NPC alignment across your world.

A traits schema is a structured ruleset that organizes character traits into categories with selection limits. It handles reference integrity by cross-linking trait definitions with related items, skills, resources, and NPC types to maintain world lore consistency.

You add a new trait entry by editing the traits.json file and defining a new object following the required fields. You can then assign gameplay modifiers like +2 strength, +1 melee skill, and specific starting items to tailor playable archetypes.

Yes, you can use this validation system for balancing class and background selections. It organizes traits into categories with enforced selection limits, ensuring balanced character customization across different playable archetypes and species.

The required fields when defining a trait definition include name, description, quirk, and modifiers. Modifiers must specify adjustments for attributes, skills, resources, and starting items to ensure typed schema compliance and proper balance.

Trait definition validation fails during cross-reference checks when your trait modifiers do not properly align with existing schema references for items, skills, or resources. The system enforces typed schemas to prevent broken links and maintain gameplay consistency.
