[ValkyrieSkies]

The point of a negative trait is that it's purely for IC, not that it's the downside to a better quirk. If there was to be an advantage it'd be best to have it as a tier 2 trait and/or earned after a certain condition, like Disgraced Knight -> Regained Honour or how Sentimentality (Weapon) works.

Also that 'Nerd' trait concept is just overpowered for anyone playing Hexer.
