Hi, Could someone please clarify the rules for determining random traits from the Book of Knights and Ladies for me? On page 46 section B. Random Determination it states you roll 3d6 for each trait, adjust for religious and regional modifiers, then add 3 discretionary points. But then under the "Individual Differences" section it says you can put one trait at 16 and modify your traits by another 6 points. From what I've read "Individual Differences" applies to both random and default methods of trait generation. If that's the case it seems a little too generous to me. The older 4th edition rules gave the default method a 15 to valor and one famous trait at 16 and only the random method got the 6 discretionary points to spend. What method do you use for random trait determination? Thanks
