Is everyone on Korvara utterly sentimental about their weapon just because almost everyone takes that trait?
I'm with Sawrock on this one, I think enforcing IC on mechanical advantages of most traits will just lead to more people trying to fit all these things in to their character backstory.
But Zach's a Spellblade, who's attached to his Halberd, a food snob (for anything Telegradian Cuisine), has a mana battery for constant replenishment, stability and dies hard, whilst also having a massively burned body and a sixth sense due to his ability to keen hear Really Good that lets him fight without sight.
He also plays music for the ghosties, exagerates stories, loves him some meat (In a not gay way), has explosive revive skills and turns the skies red whilst also being a bit of a sadist and enjoying harming people. He is one with Nature, a Mercenary Song Writer, and a Smasher.
But seriously though. I dislike the One Handed trait, simply because it's in this spot where people used to take it without being ostracized for it (Sword and Board builds have 0 reason NOT to take this! Same for tome users who can't 2h!) Then it got 'fixed' to show it on your profile.
I just kind of wish it was renamed to something else, or reworked into a talent for 'When wielding only one weapon and not two-handing, then...' There are a few fighting styles IRL that have the individual in question tuck their hand behind them or close to their body for more agile fighting and limiting 'target' area. Fencing is one such style.
