The traits system provides a simple way to store character stats with a name/description, as one might find on comic games.

Web Portal

The plugin includes web portal controls to set traits during chargen and view them on a character profile.

Installation

1. Unless you are planning to use traits in conjunction with FS3, you probably want to disable the FS3 plugins, as explained in Enabling and Disabling Plugins.
2. In the game, run plugin/install <github url>.
3. Go to Admin->Setup and change your chargen stages. Replace the FS3 stages with a stage for traits:

Old:

stages:
  sheet:
    help: sheets
  ...
  abilities:
    help: skills

New:

stages:
  ...
  traits:
    help: traits

Configuration

Configuration options can be found in game/config/traits.yml.

traits_blurb - The instructions that appear above the traits web chargen controls.

Note: If you are using just traits (without any other skills system), you probably want to alias the 'sheet' command to 'traits'. You can do this by editing the shortcuts config in the traits.yml config file.

  shortcuts:
      sheet: trait

Uninstalling

Removing the plugin requires some code fiddling. See Uninstalling Traits.
