个性特质

Personality traits are the traits that represent a character the most and impact if and how much Stress a character receives for actions and decisions that match violate these traits. For AI characters it also determines how resistant they are to another character's Dread. Characters tend not to have more than 3 personality traits. While personality traits can change it is very difficult to do so.

Each personality trait has an opposite trait and usually characters with opposite personality traits will have lowered Opinion of each other. A character cannot have two opposing traits.

疾病

Diseases are Health traits that can be spread from one character to another. If a character is cured of a Disease it becomes immune to it, preventing them from gaining the trait again. Each year a character has a 10% chance to gain an Illness trait though this can be reduced in multiple ways. Bubonic Plague cannot appear before 1346.
