Traits
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.
