Questions about Traits

How are you doing everyone? I got GOMC1 about two weeks ago, and after playing a few one off scenarios to get myself familiar with the rules, as well as painting my gangs, me and a friend or two are prepared to start with a actual campaign.

Which leads me to my question about the Characteristic Increase Trait. Now the base rules state that a Trait may only be selected once unless stated otherwise. The Characteristic Increase Trait does state otherwise, but some of the wording leave me wondering, specifically; "Only one characteristic may be selected but this trait may be selected multiple times, with a bonus applied to a different characteristic each time" pg 65-66. Now does this mean that each Characteristic may only be selected once? or that each Characteristic may be selected multiple times up to the minimums/maximums on the same page? I am leaning toward the latter, but something about the wording still leaves me in doubt.

On another note, does the maximum/minimum chart apply to all bonuses? For Example, if I raise the Res of my Top Dog to 8 do i receive any benefit from armor?
 
May be chosen mulitple times, but only once after each turn.
If that's what you're asking.

Stop being so wordy, you wordy fiend!
 
Heee, let me rephrase then.

Can i only increase each characteristic once , or can I select the same characteristic multiple times over the course of a Gangers life?
 
And what about my second question? I am sorry about all this, I just want to have as many answers on hand as possible
On another note, does the maximum/minimum chart apply to all bonuses? For Example, if I raise the Res of my Top Dog to 8 do i receive any benefit from armor?
 
I agree with Rob on all counts.

Characteristic Increase can be taken multiple times, and each time you can select any skill to increase.

The max stats are max base stats, before equipment is taking into account.

Thanks, I dunno why, but for some reason this traits wording had me confused all to hell, Thank you o wise ones of the forum!

:oops:
 
Well it is pretty confusing the way it's written. I was confused like you until I realized that if it could only be taken once per attribute, you'd never reach the max of some attributes.
