For any given pair of traits - like Altruistic and Egotistical - you'll rack up points by making choices.

WHichever trait currently has more points? That's the active trait for that character.

  • So if you have picked up 2 points in Egotistical, and you add a single point in Altruistic, you still get the Egotistical bonus.
  • If you add a second point in Altruistic, you don't get either bonus.
  • If you add a third point in Altruistic, you get the Altruistic bonus,

This makes it harder to swap out of traits you've invested heavily in, which is actually a good model.
