  Yeah. You're right xD I misunderstood the description on the d&d wiki. I'll correct it. However, thinking about it a necrophilia trait would be *ejem* kind of fun ... like "I want to hug that draugr!" Or something like that...

  What about "Carnivore" for werevolves? You eat almost exclusively meat, mostly raw.

  Also Apprentice Stone on high difficulty and with low hp vs mages really is like Dark Souls. You can die from "Frostbite" in a second.

  I like the idea. But I won't limit just for werewolves. I'll put it as soon as I take the PC. I'll put an "Herbivore" trait too. Thansk for your help!

  Thanks for the guide - it really helps add some neat quirks when trying a role-play.  My last character was hydrophobic, and so he'd always sneak across bridges (arms out, steadying himself), looking at the sky.  1/2 way through, he'd freak out and sprint to the other side!! It also made getting to Dragonsreach interesting... Oh, and he always had 3 potions of Waterbreathing on hand, and never took off Azhidal's Boots of Waterwalking once I got those. Made for a very memorable character!

  I'd like to add one more trait, and expand on two you already mentioned. First:

  Lepidopterophobia

  - the fear of butterflies! This one means avoiding the googlyeyed little buggers at all costs.

  You could simply side step them like you would a wasp's nest, or be so scared you turn and run the opposite way! It is a particularly interesting trait for an alchemist - how bad do you really want those flowers?

  Next, I'd like to expound on Disorganized. I tried this by only using the ALL menu, rather than a subsection. It's amazing how hard it can be to find something that way

  • Console Bonus: If using SkyUI, randomly sort your ALL menu (price, weight, enchanted, etc.), and that'll really help your "I just can't put my hands on it now" vibe

  Thanks again for the great suggestions!
