Part 8: Backgrounds

Backgrounds

Backgrounds (sometimes called Paths) give information about the character's life prior to the game or the selected path they've chosen. A character can only have 1 Background at a time. If the Hidden option is selected this item will not be shown in any UI lists.

Traits

A Trait can be added by several objects in the database. These items have their own display information and unlocking behavior.

Unlock

Unlock tells the system when this Trait is actually effective. Even if a character has a specific Trait they do not gain the benefits of it until the Unlock condition is met.

Unlock Type	Description
Immediately	Always unlocked, no conditions.
At Character Level	Becomes available once the character reaches a specified level.
At Class Level	Becomes available once the character reaches a specific level in a certain class.
By Expression	Unlocks only when a set expression such as strength >= 12 is true.

Add-On Plugins

This plugin based system allows you to add items to the character. You can add as many Add-Ons as you wish. These items will only be added once the Trait becomes unlocked.

Stat Modifiers

This list allows you to add Stat Modifiers to the character.
These items will only be added once the Trait becomes unlocked.
