Personality Traits (Alpha 0.1)

Rather than utilizing a mechanic or parameter to track if a creature or character is good or evil, Quests of Change uses a Personality Trait system. When creating a character, players assign their character two defining personality traits of their choice. While these traits are a great guideline for roleplaying characters, every Personality tweaks elements of gameplay, augmenting stats or providing a character with an ability. GMs are also able to provide key antagonists with personality traits, furthering guiding how they could be roleplayed while simultaneously augmenting their abilities. Additionally, through effects such as hypnosis and transformations, Personality traits my be forced upon a character or even temporarily suppressed.

The current development plan is to include over roughly one-hundred or more personality traits in the Quest of Change.
