Do any you honestly going to, or used Jinxed before?

I mean it is my favorite trait in FO2 because it makes combat unpredictable, but no unplayable.

Reduce weapon to 50% condition or get it knock out of your hand is something close to unplayable if the chances are decent, if it is too low than the trait is almost meaningless.

I do however like possible knock down, chance to jam on reload, maybe chance player DT ignore/being ignored.

Bullet Sponge
You get an additional +7DT against all melee/unarmed and Guns attacks.
But you ALWAYS have 0DT when attacked by an explosive or energy weapon. (Energy weapons and explosives bypass all your DT automatically no matter what armor you're wearing.)

Quick & Armored
Light armor is now a "no" armor, meaning absolutely no movement penalty, and medium armor is "light" armor, and if you're not wearing any armor you get +20% movement speed.
But you cannot ever equip heavy armor.

The original bloody mess did nothing but make it more violent. The only reason it has the 5% damage is to "justify" it being a perk.

Yeah. I used to occasionally take Bloody Mess and Jinxed on a speech/science/barter character. When the fighting began, I'd just hide or brace myself (skip turn so all my AP was added to defense) and watch my enemies kill themselves in horrible ways by trying to attack me. Worked surprisingly well, but I didn't dare attack often, because I ran the same horrible risk.

It might take me some time to update the OP.

Edit: Modified the OP to include new trait ideas.

Thanks folks! Why not keep 'em coming?

scroll down to the "traits" section. :disguise:

One With Nature
Animals don't attack you unless you really get on their nerves and walk right towards them. (Like coyotes) (This includes: Molerats, Coyote, Bloatflies, Lakelurks, Gecko's, smaller Radscorpions, Giant Ants, Mantis and Bighorners which won't attack if there's 10 meters between you andthem, Giant Radscorpions, Nightstalkers, Deathclaws and Cazadores are also included but you should not go too close to them, you should stay at least 30 meters from them.) (It will also allow you to go through entire Vault 22 without engaging combat, companion on the other hand do not have this trait and will be attacked by enemies in Vault 22 but outside of it they are affected by it.)
Humans on the other hand will notice you right away, they spot you more easily and sneaking around them can prove more difficult, all hostile NPC's also get a +10% in damage and accurcy.

One With Nature also opens up the ability to tame animals who are friendly with the Animal Friend perk.
The tamed animal gets +100% health and +50% damage.

So in short:
One With Nature
Animals won't attack you and won't mind you getting a little bit close to them, just not too close and you can get the ability to tame animals with the Animal Friend perk.
Hostile humanoids on the other hand notice you more easily and their combat efficiency is improved.

This trait would be great for roleplaying a tribal who lives off the land.

I do like Jinxed as a trait but I'd prefer the unlucky option to be more varied, maybe a different failure for each weapon (grenade explodes, flamer sets you on fire etc)


Sooo only with the opposite six do you get the benefit?
Wouldn't it clash with Confirmed Bachelor and force you to play as a heterosixual character....

Why would it?
You still get the confirmed bachelor speech option if you pick it.
But I guess there could be another Trigger Discipline, Fast Shot thing for it, one for gay characters and one for straight.

Yes I did.. It's hilariously funny. The only problem I had: how it correlates to my Luck stat in FO2.

Yeah you would get the Confirmed Bachelor/Cherchez la Femme dialogue but every character of the same six would find you unappealing and give skill penalty, whereas the same wouldn't happen using 'straight' character trait/perks.

As you say the simplest way would be to make one for each sixuality. (Well excluding Bi as it'd be hard to balance and you couldn't give both the benefits.)

Brick Head:
Reduce limb damage to Head down to 50%, -1 Intelligence.

Heritage:
You are a child of a influential merchant clan, deep pocket and and naturally gifted at bartering and persuasion; however people are likely to rip you off and eager to take what you have.

You receive 5000 caps, +10 in speech and barter; all vendors' selling price would be 10% up, while engaging Human and non-feral Ghouls they receive +10% in damage and damagethreshold.

Loyal Member:
You are a loyal member of a faction; You may choose to be one of the many factions, immediately become Liked by your faction; disposition of other factions towards you are immediately adjusted according to your faction.

Joe: I had high and low LCK character in FO2 and I didn't notice any difference.

Have leveled robbers doing what they do best and have them include a (-10DT perk for the robbers) and it's a deal.

It's a trait, you don't need to take it.

Easy fix is to just make those disable those perks when you pick that trait. I think they had this already in FO1+2+Tactics.

Or I suppose you could make sixual orientation traits.

But what about the bis?

Gifted+Skilled= you thougths

Here's a trait that could use some work.

God like-

Your mind has become so involved in thinking you are a god, that your skin has thickened, adding +6 DT to yourself. Only problem is, you forgot most of your common logic, -2 INT.
