Traits are split between positive ones, which cost points and help your character, and negative ones, which give you points and hinder your character. The right selection of traits can mean the difference between a living survivor and a rotting corpse.

Point cost: 2 |
"You heal a little faster than most; sleeping will heal more lost HP." |

Players with this trait are guaranteed to start with an inhaler. If you have a charged inhaler on person and are awake and not underwater, the entire attack will not happen and instead one charge will be drained from the inhaler. If you are asleep, the attack will wake you up. If you're underwater, you will immediately lose half of your oxygen.
Asthma attack chance per turn is 1 in (3600 - 50 * stim).
Point cost: -3 |

Point cost: -1 |

Point cost: -2 |
"You suffer from a minor chemical imbalance, whether mental or physical. Minor changes to your internal chemistry will manifest themselves on occasion, such as hunger, sleepiness, narcotic effects, etc." |
Randomly causes small amounts of hunger (occasionally negative), thirst, pain (3, 6 or 9 per application), fatigue, moods swings (-20, but sometimes +20), dizziness (costs 10-30 moves), painkiller loss/gain (gain more common) and temperature changes.
Temperature changes immediately set the temperature of your entire body to very cold, cold, hot or very hot. This trait doesn't work while you're asleep.
Point cost: -1 |
"You make more noise when walking. You're also more likely to set off traps." |
Point cost: -3 |
"You are terrible at organizing and storing your possessions. You can carry 40% less volume." |
Point cost: -2 |
"Without reading glasses, you are unable to read anything, and take penalities on melee accuracy and electronics/tailoring crafting. However, you are guaranteed to start with a pair of reading glasses." |
Point cost: -3 |
"You have a hard time remembering things. Your skills will erode slightly faster than usual." |
Point cost: -3 |
"Your body can't take much abuse. Its maximum HP is 25% lower than usual and you heal slightly slower. Stacks with Glass Jaw." |
Point cost: -5 |
"Your body breaks very easily. Its maximum HP is 50% lower than usual and you heal slower. Stacks with Glass Jaw." |
Point cost: -7 |
"Your body is extremely fragile. Its maximum HP is 75% lower than usual and you heal much slower. Stacks with Glass Jaw." |
The player can only take one of the above three. They do not stack together.
Point cost: -3 |
"Your head can't take much abuse. Its maximum HP is 15% lower than usual." |
Point cost: -3 |
"You despise eating fruits. It's possible for you to eat them, but you will suffer morale penalties due to nausea." |

Point cost: -2 |
"You like many children hated eating your vegetables you also didn't outgrow it. It's possible for you to eat them, but you will suffer morale penalties due to nausea." |
Point cost: -1 |
"You're quite the heavy sleeper. Noises are unlikely to wake you up." |
Random number (3d15) is added to effective distance of all sounds when you're asleep. That gives a ~92% chance of not hearing a zombie banging on a window directly next to you and more than 50% chance of not hearing 7 consecutive of such "window bangs". It is not powerful enough to let you sleep through a noisy bionic acting up.
Point cost: -4 |
"You don't feel right unless you're carrying as much as you can. You suffer morale penalties for carrying less than maximum volume (weight is ignored). Xanax can help control this anxiety." |
Morale penalty is (max volume - carried volume)/2, capped at 70. Xanax divides by 7, Prozac by 2. Updated every turn.
Point cost: -5 |
"You never learned to read! Books and computers are off-limits to you." |

Point cost: -1 |
"You like 75 percent of the world, cannot tolerate milk or milk based products. It's possible for you to eat them, but you will suffer morale penalties due to nausea." |
Pretty safe - milk rots pretty quickly, and its not like you're going to find a cow anytime soon...
Point cost: -1 |

Point cost: -3 |
"You have problems with eating meat, it's possible for you to eat it but you will suffer morale penalties due to nausea." |
Point cost: -1 |

Point cost: -2 |
"Your hearing is poor, and you may not hear quiet or far-off noises." |
Point cost: -4 |
"You tend to specialize in one skill and be poor at all others. You advance at half speed in all skills except your best one. Note that combining this with Fast Learner will come out to a slower rate of learning for all skills." |
Point cost: -5 |
"You will periodically suffer from delusions, ranging from minor effects to full visual hallucinations. Some of these effects may be controlled through the use of Thorazine." |
Point cost: -2 |
