Traits
Perks and quirks: chosen at character creation, earned on level-up, or granted by gear.
How it works
An Augmentation Booth changes your traits for money. Upgrading a trait costs $75 for each creation point of its "+" version. Removing a negative trait (−4 to −1 points) costs $150 a point. Swapping one for a random trait worth the same points costs $35 a point, or $75 for a negative trait. Each trait lists the prices the booth asks for it.
