RE:P Poll: Skill/Trait for next update!
Added 2022-06-12 12:57:45 +0000 UTCIt's time for the next Red Embrace: Paradisus content poll--let's see which skills/traits will show up next month!
As a brief refresher, skills are passive/active abilities that let you gain insights, interact with the environment, and achieve quest goals. Examples include picking locks, tracking down a character, seducing someone, stealing their lunch money, etc.
(Below: the skill selection screen)

Traits, on the other hand, are personality/background facets of your character. They determine how your character thinks/feels about their situation, their background, and how other characters respond to them. Examples include flying into a rage at an insult, being able to flirt aggressively, always remaining stoically silent, and acting gleefully eccentric.

As you can see from the screenshots, only a limited number of skills/traits have been introduced thus far. So let's decide what the next new skill + trait implementation will be!
Here are the current options (both the skill + trait will be implemented if picked):
Option 1: Iron Diplomacy + True Thespian
- [Skill] Iron Diplomacy: Threaten and intimidate people who might not share your point of view
- [Trait] True Thespian: Be extremely theatrical and dramatic, move (some) people to tears, channel your acting chops for sticky situations
Option 2: Honed Sinews + Selfless
- [Skill] Honed Sinews: Speed, athletics, and acrobatics. Useful for combat, flashy parkour, or anything in between
- [Trait] Selfless: Kind and self-sacrificing, sometimes to extremes. Go out of your way to brighten others' days
Option 3: Nous + Bohedonist
- [Skill] Nous: Willpower, mental strength, mind over body, resisting vampire powers
- [Trait] Bohedonist: Compulsively chase after pleasure, excitement, and new experiences; decadence thrills you beyond compare
Choose your favorite pair! Fear not, the ones that don't win will still show up later eventually! :) (Poll ends on the 14th)
