This is just a small suggestion that I thought up with a few people, could there potentially be a way to change your trait? (True Believer, Suspecious Cynic etc.)

It can be a multiple time thing like the stat hacks, or maybe just a one shot pop. As an MA, I suffer severely because my base Belief is 5 (as a Fanatic Self Improver). Unfortunately, back in the original combat, this trait was actually very good - as it gave much more health and such. However, in CR2 - I don't receive anything except Max Health and Intiative bonuses, both of which don't help a whole lot (minus using Desperation when near death) and I have to burn through at LEAST 20 of my points for each of my main traits; thus leaving me with very little in the way of customization and defenses against other classes. Having the extra 6 points in Belief or Focus could go a long way in helping me, and others could benefit when using their chosen class.

Rerolling a character aside, could it be possible to implement a system to do this? Or are your traits locked into your character to where they cannot be changed?

"Ultimate Customizable Chars"...

I remember the days where it was strongly advised to take an hour of time when creating your chars as the specifications were, once set up, read-only. The char's trait ist the last remaining factor that should be well-chosen at the creation menus. As much as "RSI Pills" and "Stat Hacks" come in handy nowadays I oppose such things as they are kinda humbug RP wise. I have never touched an RSI pill with any of my chars; stat hacking makes kinda sense but taking a pill to alter a char's basic attitude is heavy nonsense.

I know I'm gonna get bashed by PVPers for this, but me says lets keep it the way it is SMILEY
