===Traits===
In addition, you have traits. Traits are anything that your stats aren't. Pretty simple. Special equipment or techniques, special abilities and mundane skills, certain aptitudes or aspects of your character's personality. If it's broad, your GM might reduce the value, if it's narrow, they might increase it.

As a possible guideline, although it all depends on your GM, a common trait, more or less as useful as a stat (for instance, '''Marksmanship (Rifles)''') would give you a bonus of 1 for 1 trait point spent. If it is significantly narrower and less useful than a stat (for instance, '''Marksmanship (ZZ-722 Lazer Rifle)'''), 1 point for a bonus of 2. If it's significantly broader and more useful than a stat (for instance, '''Marksmanship'''), 2 points for a bonus of 1. If it expands or increases your capabilities in a way which is beyond the norm, it can cost additional points (1-3, GM arbitrates).

You may also take traits that do not grant bonuses, but simply provide additional capabilities; as mentioned earlier, it could be some special equipment your character owns and that you wouldn't normally start with.

You get ten points to distribute among your traits. If you like, you can choose to save some of these points (they too could come in handy later).
