Death Wish +30% All Accuracy, +30% Critical, -30% Parry, -30% Dodge
I think Death Wish is potentially OP. Imagine a Sniper/Soldier/BH officer with that trait. After the soldier Ferocity init talent(+30% damage, +15% crit) and the sniper stealth mode talent (10+x crit) and, the amount of damage and crit stacking would be insane. The dodge penalty would hardly be an issue, since most enemies probably wouldn't have a talent that could target a range 4 character. I think the crit bonus should be nerfed down to at least 15%.

Power Hungry +10% All Damage, +5% Critical
This trait doesn't make sense to me. Having a desire for power doesn't necessarily make one more dangerous in a fight. Maybe its name should be changed to something like "Murderous Instincts"?
Also, it has a metascore of 0, even though it has no listed downsides.

Mindful -1 Fortitude, +2 Wisdom, +2 Resilience, -1 Initiative
I don't understand why this has -1 Fortitude. If anything, being mindful should only make someone more healthy.

Mysterious Perplexing and good at hiding the truth of things, this one has 50% resistance to hidden Traits being discovered
I would find this trait to be much more amusing if its effect was "(30+Resilience)% resistance to hidden Traits being discovered". Tying it into attributes makes it feel like the crewdog is personally resisting, which seems funnier to me

resistor -

rebalanced Death Wish.

Fixed the text description of power hungry, it actually reads: "Always rises against the Captain in a Mutiny, +10% All Damage, +5% Critical"

Mindful in a mind-over-body way.

Death Wish Going out in a blaze of glory, -25% Death Save to survive lethal hit in any situation, +15% Accuracy, +15% Critical Veteran 0

This is pretty great!  And I like the flavor of it, too.  Might wanna put an "a" before "lethal", if you care about that, however.

Thanks again for your help!

I somehow got the original Death Wish mutation on my Captain. Being a frontline fighter, after getting the trait he was getting hit left and right, despite high Evade and Stealth. Then from full health, he died after getting two hits right at the start of a Mission-related crew combat.

Glad to see the change.

I have changed the mutation rules to avoid Death Wish for Captains.

Fixed a ton of small display issues with Traits -- much better now!

Should captains gain Reveres Authority? Seems redundant if he always joins his own side, unless this mutates into something useful down the road.

I cannot see any way that a Captain would gain Reverse Authority. It should be blocked.

Yeah, I have no idea. I spent a few hours looking, couldn't figure it out.

Might just be one of those things we cannot control.

There are many aspects of our lives that we can control, except the ones that we cannot, therefore we ought not.

It's not a huge ordeal if anything it'll be a funny meme for us to chuckle at whenever it does happen. Perhaps a tangential fix is to simply buff the trait in a way that makes it good if it is on a captain? +2 charisma if on the captain, or something, I don't know.

[Cory Trese]

The question is how old is that saved game

[En1gma]

I made it like 3 days ago on .55 Cory Trese

[Cory Trese]

I have absolutely no idea how that is possible then. Kinda scary, I must be really misunderstanding something basic about how this type of algo works.

Thanks for the post!
