This is a technical list of all the traits and what they do, just in case the trait selection screen isn't good enough for you.

All effects stack additively (so that three ranks in Ironman will give 30 additional HP), unless said otherwise. Multiple percentage modifiers (for example, Finesse and Son of a Gun) are added if from the same source, and the resulting speeds are multiplied together afterwards.

As of 0.9.9.3, the maximum level of basic traits has been increased (called "extended max" on this page). Upon reaching level 12, all traits that have a standard max of 3 can be increased to a max of 5, and all traits that have a standard max of 2 can be increased to a max of 3.

Basic Traits

All basic traits can be picked from the start, IE they don't require anything.

Ironman

Shorthand Iro
Max. Rank: 3
Extended Max. 5
Unlocks None
Effect Max health and current health are increased by 10 per rank. With no points in Iro, a player begins with 50 HP.

Finesse

Shorthand Fin
Max. Rank: 2
Extended Max. 3
Unlocks Juggler (1 rank), Whizkid (2 ranks)
Effect Attack time is decreased by 15% per rank.

Hellrunner

Shorthand HR
Max. Rank: 2
Extended Max. 3
Unlocks Dodgemaster (2 ranks)
Effect Movement time is reduced by 15% per rank. This effectively increases your dodging chance by the same amount, as well.

Tough as Nails

Shorthand TaN
Max. Rank: 3
Extended Max. 5
Unlocks Badass (2 ranks)
Effect Armor is increased by one per rank (stacks with all other sources of armor).

Son of a Bitch

Shorthand SoB
Max. Rank: 3
Extended Max. 5
Unlocks Triggerhappy (2 ranks)
Effect One extra damage is dealt per attack per rank. For a weapon with multiple shots, the effect is applied to each bullet.

Son of a Gun

Shorthand SoG
Max. Rank: 3
Extended Max. 5
Unlocks Dualgunner (2 ranks)
Effect All kinds of pistols' firing time is reduced by 20% and they deal one more damage per shot, per rank. (Note that the minimum time weapon firing time is 0.1s, regardless of bonuses.)

Reloader

Shorthand Rel
Max. Rank: 2
Extended Max. 3
Unlocks Shottyman (2 ranks)
Effect Reload time of all weapons is reduced by 20% per rank.

Eagle Eye

Shorthand EE
Max. Rank: 3
Extended Max. 5
Unlocks Intuition (2 ranks)
Effect Increases your accuracy by two points per rank.

Brute

Shorthand Bru
Max. Rank: 3
Extended Max. 5
Unlocks Berserker (2 ranks)
Effect All melee attacks deal three more damage and your melee accuracy increases by two points, per rank.

Advanced Traits

Juggler

Shorthand Jug
Max. Rank: 1
Prerequisite Finesse (1 rank)
Effect Swapping prepared or quickkeyed weapons takes no time.

Berserker

Shorthand Ber
Max. Rank: 1
Prerequisite Brute (2 ranks)
Effect A successful melee hit grants a chance of going berserk. The chance is 5+(2x(damage done)/5)%, but only applies if you do at least 9 damage and there is at least one visible enemy remaining. When the check is passed, 20 turns are added to the berserk counter, regardless of difficulty level.

Dualgunner

Shorthand DG
Max. Rank: 1
Prerequisite Son of a Gun (2 ranks)
Effect 1 If you have a pistol in both the equipped and prepared slots, you will fire both at the same time at 120% of the normal firing time. If wielded pistols have different firing speeds, the mean is used before multiplication.
Effect 2 Allows to reload pistols in both hands at once using the alternate reload key.

Dodgemaster

Shorthand DM
Max. Rank: 1
Prerequisite Hellrunner (2 ranks)
Effect The first dodge during a given action automatically succeeds.

Intuition

Shorthand Int
Max. Rank: 2
Prerequisite Eagle Eye (2 ranks)
Effect 1 Lever descriptions are added. The first rank gives a general description, and the second rank exactly tells you what it does.
Effect 2 Certain objects on every floor are visible. The first rank reveals powerups, and the second rank reveals enemy positions.

Whizkid

Shorthand WK
Max. Rank: 2
Prerequisite Finesse (2 ranks)
Effect Increases the number of available weapon mod slots by 2 per rank and armor mod slots by 1 per rank. This effectively "allows" advanced assemblies with the first rank and master assemblies with the second.

Badass

Shorthand Bad
Max. Rank: 1
Prerequisite Tough as Nails (2 rank)
Effect Stops all health decay above 100%. Reduces knockback by one tile.

Shottyman

Shorthand SM
Max. Rank: 1
Prerequisite Reloader (2 ranks)
Effect Any wielded shotgun is reloaded when moving.

Triggerhappy

Shorthand TH
Max. Rank: 2
Prerequisite Son of a Bitch (2 ranks)
Effect Gives an extra shot for all non-shotgun, multiple shot weapons per rank.
