Traits

1. Traits are passive abilities denoted with (T).
2. Traits are automatically active at the start of the activity and do not need to be cast.
3. Traits cannot be removed or discarded. However, while a player is dead, their trait effects become inactive and do not bestow any of their effects except those specifically stated to work while dead. When the player is returned to life, all their traits become active again.

Enchantments and Other Effects as Traits
There are instances where enchantments or other effects like Fragile may be granted to a player as a trait. In these cases, the ability type and effect category becomes "Trait" and it ceases to follow the rules for the previous type, instead following all the rules for traits as listed above.
