Dont worry too much about the traits getting out of hand. I got that handled. Though if you want something that gives you like five different effects youre probably better off putting it in a special... Anyway, if a particular trait is troublesome i'll tell you. Usually they're not though.
At the moment the system works something like this:
Stats: raw power and numbers. The essential but unexciting stuff.
Traits: Specialized perks that make you stand out from the rest by making you particular awesome in certain situations - or just all around effectiveness, if thats your preference. But basically they are what give character definition. Thunderpaws traits in particular are extra interesting because he took them based on things that happened to him.
Specials: Powerful tools you can use when the situation needs it and lets you have a small moment where you get to be awesome (hence why i worry that having a ton of specials would be boring)
Odds are that for this level up, it'll proceed like normal. Just want to voice a couple of ideas at the moment in preparation for the next level up. Unless you all disagree with me and think having excessive amouns of traits/specials is awesome, in which case that will be a thing.
