Threshold?

What does threshold mean in EDCT? like Threshol 18 and such..

Thanks

Basically how difficult it is to get from one level of the trait to the next. The lower, the easier to advance.

Not difficulty. Amount of points.

For instance, if a trait can have three levels with repective thresholds 3, 5 and 10. A character may still have 1 or 139 points in the trait. In his character sheet, it will say the highest level of which the trait points exceed the threshold.

1 point: no trait
2 points: no trait
3 points: level 1 trait
4 points: level 1 trait
5 points: level 2 trait
6 points: level 2 trait
7 points: level 2 trait
8 points: level 2 trait
9 points: level 2 trait
10 points: level 3 trait
11 points: level 3 trait
12 points: level 3 trait

And so on. Any number higher than 10 will also show the trait as level three.

As for difficulty of gaining a trait, that's determined by the chance values in those triggers that award the trait.

Well, I thought saying "difficulty" would be the simpler way of explaining it, even though the word "threshold" is what you described. Is that not right though? The higher the threshold, the more difficult it is to advance to the next level of trait. That is what Malrubius himself said. The more points you need, the more difficult it is, right?

Ah ok thanks for this explanation., another thing is there a limit to the amount of traits that a FM can get? those that aren't conflicting ones i mean.

There should be but in comparison to ancillaries whose hardcode 8 maximum,
traits are much more advantageous than ancillaries. These fact is my main concern for my main mod :-(
