Threshold?

[Ciro]

This might be a newbie question, but I have taken a look at the traits descriptions but I haven't figured out what threshold is.

Could someone please inform me on that???

The threshold is the number of 'points' towards a trait that the character needs to get to that level of the trait.

If you look at the triggers you will see they apply to the overall trait not the level. eg:

Trigger V0060_Standard_Battle_Attacker_Clear_Loss_VnV_Trigger
WhenToTest PostBattle

Condition WasAttacker
and IsGeneral
and not WonBattle
and BattleSuccess = clear
and I_ConflictType Normal
and BattleOdds >= 0.5

Affects BadAttacker 1 Chance 50

that gives one point towards BadAttacker trait if it is triggered.
If you look back at that trait you will see:

Trait BadCommander
Characters family
AntiTraits GoodCommander

Level Indifferent_Commander
Description Indifferent_Commander_desc
EffectsDescription Indifferent_Commander_effects_desc
Threshold 2

Effect Command -1

Level Incompetent_Commander
Description Incompetent_Commander_desc
EffectsDescription Incompetent_Commander_effects_desc
Threshold 4

Effect Command -2

that if trigger applied twice, character would get two points and reach level required to be Indifferent_Commander. Four points would make him Incompetent_commander. Points acquired towards the anti_trait, Good Commander would reduce the number of points towards Bad commander and if he dropped below the relevant threshold he could go back a level in the Bad Commander trait, ie. from Incompetent to Indifferent.

Some traits also have a NoGoingBackLevel that relates to same system - if character gets more points in a certain trait than that level, triggering the anti-trait won't any longer make him drop below that level.
