Traits
De CK3 - FR
Wiki officiel de Crusader Kings 3.
Traits represent a character's personality, abilities, reputation, and physical characteristics. They can be gained or lost through events and some traits can be inherited by descendants. Traits affect everything about a character, from attributes to the opinion others have on them. Most traits influence the outcome of certain events or grant additional options. When using the Ruler Designer, most traits have a cost in customization points.
Personality traits
Personality traits are the traits that represent a character the most and impact if and how much Modèle:Icon/s Stress a character receives for actions and decisions that conflict with these traits. For AI characters, it also determines their behavior (e.g. how resistant they are to another character's Modèle:Icon/d Dread). Characters tend not to have more than 3 personality traits. While personality traits can change, it is very difficult to do so; this most often occurs as the result of a mental break at Stress Level 2 or higher. Custom characters can be given as many personality traits as the player wants.
Personality traits are most malleable during childhood, where they will gain an event to gain a personality trait at ages of 9, 11 and 13. If the player is playing as the child, they could choose to gain one of 3 possible traits. Otherwise, if the player is the guardian of a child, they can choose to go with child's acquired personality, or change it at a cost of stress. Children are more likely to gain the personality trait of their guardian, and less likely to gain the opposite of it. Certain Traditions make certain personalities more prevalent.
Each personality trait has one or two opposite traits and usually characters with opposite personality traits will have lowered Modèle:Icon/o Opinion of each other. Additionally, characters with same or similar traits will typically be easier to Befriend, Seduce and Romance, while harder for those with opposite or contrasting traits. A character cannot have two opposing traits, or three mutually exclusive traits. Personality traits are listed with opposite traits on the same row.
On Steam, if Stream Rich Presence is enabled one of the personality traits will be referenced while the user is playing.

Childhood traits
Characters between 3 and 15 years old will have a childhood trait, which is decided at random but the chance can be influenced by a few cultural traditions. Childhood traits grant a minor bonus to two Skills and if the child is given an Education Focus that matches one of the two Skills the trait improves, then the trait can improve the level of the education trait given when the character reaches adulthood. If creating a custom ruler each childhood trait costs 5 customization points.

There are three traits of increasing severity that represents a character's current level of wounds. They are increased as part of various events, hunts, duels, or battles, and have a chance to be reduced every 3 months. The chance to reduce wounds decreases with the character's age and Modèle:Icon/s Stress. They cannot be added to custom characters. If a character gets wounded while they already have the highest level of wounds they will die. When a character fully recovers from wounds they have a 40% chance to gain or increase the Modèle:Icon/s Scarred trait.

Diseases
Diseases are Health traits that can be spread from one character to another. If a character recovers from a disease they become immune to it. Immunity is permanent for the Bubonic Plague, Smallpox and Measles and lasts 20 years for other traits. There is no immunity against the Ill trait. STD diseases are congenital and can also be spread to other characters if sleeping with them.
Each year a character has a 10% chance to gain a Diseases trait, though this can be reduced in multiple ways. Diseases are also gained from plagues being in the domain or travel baronies. The Bubonic Plague may or may not appear depending on game rules.
The health penalties can be reduced or canceled if a Modèle:Icon/c Personal Physician with sufficient Aptitude was employed.

Immortal
The Immortal trait can only be added when creating custom characters. It makes the character immortal: they do not visibly age, years do not affect their attributes, their Modèle:Icon/f Fertility does not decrease, they cannot gain the Modèle:Icon/i Incapable trait or old age traits, and they are immune to random harm events. It also cancels the Long Reign bonus. The trait costs 10000 points so it will always invalidate achievements.
