Harvest Moon Campaign World

Character Traits

The Pathfinder Role-Playing Game introduced the concept of the Character Trait. These are minor but useful abilities used to further define your character. Any changes to the original Traits will be listed here as well as any new traits, including regional and race traits.

Note that you may find that some Traits sound similar in their name and description, but they will have different rules. This is to allow characters to further define their characters in a certain way. For example, there are both Basic and Regional feats which deal with city-dwellers.

Be careful when referring to these traits. The Pathfinder Role-Playing game refers to "Racial Traits" and "Race Traits". These are two different things. "Racial Traits" are those which are gained automatically from taking that race and can be found alongside that race's description. "Race Traits" are a type of Character Trait and can be found below.

Please note that these are still very raw. If it seems as if too many people are taking one trait for the abilities it grants, it will be put under review. These Character Traits are meant to help you flesh out your back-story and get a little something for it, not to twink your character.

In the current iteration of the Harvest Moon character creation rules, you are allowed one each of basic, race, and regional traits. You may choose a single Negative Character Trait in order to pick any other Character Trait
