Synergistic Traits

[contributor]

It would be fun to have traits that only work if other crew members share that trait or have a matching one. It would add a lot of depth to the trait system.

So my inspiration was the "Pig" trait. This character lowers morale of anyone of the opposite sex when spicing, but doubles morale gain of anyone who shares the pig trait.

Maybe that's not an actionable suggestion, but I'm sure there must be some more.

Soothsayer - Gives causes anyone with the Riggedly Lawful trait to have a x% chance of gaining charisma.

Teacher - Gives anyone with the "Focused" trait a chance to gain wisdom.

etc.

Sounds like the request grävling was championing to have Snob work in reverse if there were enough Snobs on the crew.

That is a great suggestion! Maybe we could have Ford and Chevy guys too, or Mac and PC guys. What was the benefit of the snob trait. + morale when carrying advanced goods and narcotic spice?

Hm. Indeed, that could be cool. Not the "pig" idea in particular, though; let's avoid possible controversy.

I remember someone suggesting that a character with the Snob trait could increase the morale of someone else with the Snob trait. That was a specific application of the general idea you've put forward. [Edit: That's the second time fallen ninjas me today.]
