This page contains changes and additions that I could imagine in an attempt to explore design space. They may be perfectly applicable, have a major drawback or don't make any sense at all. Most, if not all, scalings should only be considered aa ballpark numbera to compare skills within this writeup.

---|---|---|---|---|---|
reworked/new trait ideas | (Rad) GM | Inscribed Removal |
|
Using a signet converts a condition on you. Affecting an ally with a signet removes a condition from them. | |
(Zeal) GM | Eternal Armory |
|
Symbols burn foes with their last strike. | ||
(FB) GM | Gebetskreis und Chor | Gain profits, such as cooldown reductions, when affected by allied tome skills, mantras or shouts. or: Share the effects of tome skills, etc you receive with 4 more allies. | |||
(Valor?) GM | 12 | Skills that apply Protection apply Aegis instead. Possibly works with skills that apply protection because of traits, but not with protection applied by the trait | |||
(Honor?) GM | Skills additionally target allies, healing them for a share of damage they would cause if they were foes. Damage you deal to foes is also applied to you. complex trait that should both be core, for its versatility, and not core for its extreme impact on gameplay, at the same time. Healing "hits" should not "crit". Probably problematic with condition damage in this state |
