Traits and Perks

[Solomani666]

Is anyone familiar with a gaming system or list of character traits and/or perks that might be compatible with Traveller?

Examples that might be in the list:

* Fast metabolism
* Color blindness
* Various phobias
* Exceptional sight, smell, hearing, etc.
* High pain threshold

Yes, take a look at the Main book for Traveller 2300.

Looking for something more extensive.

Do you have Chthonian Stars? It added traits to Mongoose Traveller.

Thanks Shawn. Precisely what the doctor ordered!
An excellent start to my own house rules.
Care to make any additions?

P.S. Where can I find more of your campaign sessions online?

Planet Mercenary takes Mongoose Traveller's skills and cuts out the generic ones, like I do for my games. Just the specialized skills are used. So no Gun Combat 0 stuff. It's only Energy Rifle 0 or Slug Pistol 0, for example. They also make more physical skills for their game. One could take this idea further and add trait skills to Mongoose Traveller, instead of a trait being a modifier to your attributes. The trick is then to come up with trait names that sound like skill names that can be used. Some things you are just born with, so no skills. Just traits that +/- DMs to your attributes and/or to some existing skills. But most players, I'd imagine, don't want to add any more to the skill list already in the game.

My games are typically one-shots and not recorded, unfortunately.

Hmmm... Too bad. You may want to reconsider that, considering your vast experience in the game.
