Title: Traits List
Post by: Cavie on December 28, 2012, 12:43:24 PM

New to the game and trying to help my learning curve.  I notice that some traits (which should be obvious, ie. Frost, Flame, etc) are not listed in the Codex.

Can anyone point me to a list somewhere that contains ALL traits and their descriptions?  Maybe this doesn't exist?

Enjoying the game already but want to learn it all faster!   :ohmy:

Things like Flame, Frost and Lightning traits are only used to indicate that the Creaturw or Object takes more or less damage from a specific type of attack.

So the Knight of Westlock has Lightning +2 to indicate that it takes two additional dice of damage from Lightning based attacks.

Check page 30 of the rules for more info and examples

Thanks pixelgeek,

This should now end up in the rules forum probably but let's see if I understand this before making up a traits list.

If I were to cast a Geyser on a Wall of Fire, the wall would take 3 additional dice of damage since it has Hydro +3?

That is correct
