I know this one is going to have some STARES given out.. but. Like.

Can stats gained from Aptitude not count as bonus stats? Or they still can (for Overload murdering the shit out of you)... but like.

Traits having stat requirements and them NOT counting aptitude stats is the epitome of BWEH.. and for the most part? It confuses the HELL out of newbies that ask "Hey? Why can't I get X trait. I have 20 wil..."

"Well. Actually. You need 20 INVESTED wil... Big difference."

The bonus stat thing from apt and how many newbies are confused by it...Honestly, for that alone I would agree. Its very unintuitive.

Not sure if the balance suffers much from it, I'd argue it won't since everyone gets it, and the traits you reach with this are usually very lightweight most of the time.(i guess undeniable toughness is more viable with it.)

I certainly lean more towards yes, just because of the newbie friendliness alone.

Just make bonus stats count towards trait reqs.

Ofc, that would come into the problem of: I just unequipped X item and now I don't have X trait.

But, honestly? That's better than what happens currently IMO.

Nah, that be too much, apt is fine.
