Hi Neceros,

awesome idea! However, I have some thoughts:

1. Pyromaniac doesn't fit with the other rebalances as it misses a buff. I like "Glory, to the Empress!"'s idea to buff its heat resistance. As an alternative, you could raise his engineering skills by +2, since pyromaniacs might know how to build stuff to lighten things?

2. I think the +20% melee dmg buff to Volatile is way too overpowered. +4 to melee is already very strong on its own. But buffing every single melee hit by a further 20%? Extreme. This would be even stronger than Brawler.

Two other notes:

3. You haven't balanced the traits according to their category, see here[rimworldwiki.com]. For example, Nervous (+8% mental break threshold) is meant as a weaker variant to Volatile, yet both traits have individual buffs. Is this done on purpose? To keep with the Vanilla way of scaling skills and traits, I'd suggest sticking to this scheme. As such, Volatile would be a stronger variant of Nervous, and so on.

4. How does the game handle the new traits when generating new pawns? Does it recognize that these have been buffed? Or will it create overpowered skill/trait combinations, e.g. on the pawn creation screen when starting a new game?

Thanks for reading!
