Traits convey certain benefits and advantages.
Every ten levels of experience, until attaining the 1st rank of the Infinite, an adventurer gains the option to consolidate their insights by selecting a trait.
Reaching Daring, Paragon and Logosian levels is considered a major milestone; accordingly, a major trait can only be selected at those junctures.
Racial traits are granted automatically as part of being a member of a certain race.
