I made a trait list in response to someone else's thread but figured it would get more attention (give me attention! ) in a dedicated thread, well actually I just figured more people who would want to see it, had a chance to see it.
The way it was created was, that I went through the trait list in the core file and wrote it all down by hand, so if there is a mistake, blame Kael... If you find I am missing a trait, or have a better idea of how to list it, please give a reply.
Rough link here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/qpc9v6go37bpzlp/Trait%20List.txt Edit: Current computer have a HD that is about to die, so I wont be installing dropbox, and wont be changing this list until my other comp is back from repairs.
The "Prereq:" is the trait that is required for the first item in the list, the secondary items are only requiring the first item (Lethal II only requires Lethal I, not "Path Of The Warrior") The list is subject to me missing an item or two (I missed "Fast" the first time around), It does get tiresome looking through the text mindlessly copying the important text (its mixed in with unit traits, sovereign traits, and faction traits). The benefits of upgradeable traits are cumulative, level 3 lethal grants a total of +9 bonus to cutting, blunt or piercing attack (2+3+4 = 9). The Chance attribute that I added on the 3rd edit is a number that is only comparable to other chance attributes (in-text-term is "Likelihood"), a 100 is considered "Rare", 200 is "Uncommon" and 400 and above is "Common". The way I figure it works is that a chance of 400 is twice as likely to show up as a chance of 200.

Edit: Fixed spelling on a few traits, removed the "Loner" entry (Thanks Kalin), and added the "Air Adept" entry.Edit2: Added True Strike (Thanks to BernieTime)Edit3: Changed how the text looks, hopefully you will find it easier to read, also added "Chance" which is how likely a specific trait is to pop up (compare it to the other chance numbers). Also added the description for henchmen spells, and injuries to the list. Also tried to colour code it for easier locating of important items.
Sincerely~ Kongdej
Loner never appears because it doesn't have a Unit_Level abilitybonustype designation, it's probably meant as some sort of unique champion ability.
The same is true for Attunement, Brilliant, Hardy, Might, Scholar, Veteran, Wealthy (those are only for sovereign design).
Oh, and... + attention
Arh thanks, just looked at the chance one.I am not too used to this modding code, so nice with some clarifications
I'll "Awesome" again Attention!
missing the "Aim" skill that lets you wack something at 75% damage. Not sure if that's generic or part of a path
As far as I remember, its part of the assassin path, I must have missed it when I was looking through all the (bloody) text, thanks! Will try to see if I can download and install the game (without running it! ) so I can get access to the list again.
There, found it, your calling it "Aim" actually had me searching for "Aim" though, when it was called "True Strike", boo at manually searching through tons of text for one item
Sorry about that, I couldn't remember the exact name either. Probably because I never ever take it when offered. Most of the special abilities never seem to miss so the skill seems moot.
According to some of the modders they aren't able to miss at all, (which makes double strike kind of silly, since its supposed to be able to miss), the exception is the "Gamblers Strike" which functions nothing like a normal attack.
One of the things I always found odd in this game was the mention to things that aren't really applicate-able as of doublestrike.Some of the more advances modding takes a hit to this too, since it limits the modding ability, you can't for example make easy-to use ranged attacks that use resistance and mastery instead of dodge and accuracy...
Hmmm, I might be going slightly off-topic here...
I notice one thing that has changed since you updated it last... the "Sweep" skill isn't necessarily on the assassin path, and doesn't require double strike. I've had it with Defenders, Warriors, and Assassins.
@BernieTime: The Truestrike skill may seem moot, but it does that 75% of damage regardless of the AC of the target, so it's still useful sometimes. So say your attack is 20, you do 15 points of damage whether the enemy has 0 AC or 50 AC (although I would still MUCH rather have Double Strike).
Thanks.
My current computer have a troubled harddrive, and some other issues like morning-grumpyness. So I can't play elemental for more than 20 minutes at a time (So that pretty much ruins the fun), didn't notice this in the patchnotes though.
Will use my morning to recheck the abilities with 1.2
Edit: My version of Sweep still requires doublestrike... (1.20 vanilla)... Are you running mods, or have you been granted units with free doublestrike? (or is it the campaign, which is subject to odd rules) I did add a note about it though.
Updated with injuries, Chance to get the trait, and added to the note of the Henchmen Spells which spell they give, one thing on the "todo" list is add the full spell list here so a player can make sensible choices from this list alone.
If anyone see's this and have a spelllist lying around, I would love to see it instead of translating all the spell out from the raw text in the game directory.
edit: Oh, and colour coded it because for myself it added a huge element of quickly finding the right path, I do know this wont translate well to all the forum skins though, so please yell at me if you want it reverted. (It should be forbidden to have 2 skins to a forum, with each separate backgrounds when I am trying to find colours that easily contrast with the background).
Why don't you use the Spellbook for this?
Uhm... That would be the intelligent thing to do Hmm, there's always more spells than I remember.
