	==Heavy Handed==		==Heavy Handed==
	[[Heavy Handed]] is an awesome Trait for a pugilist. When combined with [[ST]] 10 and a [[Mega Power Fist]], a fist-fighter will have amazing successes knocking down enemies. Opponents have to spend [[AP]] to stand up. Meanwhile, you knock them down again. Not the best choice for doing crits, but then again a knockdown is a crit. This Trait works the same even on a low [[Luck]] character.		[[Heavy Handed]] is an awesome Trait for a pugilist.

	==Jinxed==		==Jinxed==
	[[Jinxed]] is a weird one. You cause more crit fails, but some of them are yours! Who wants a character prone to critical failures? Still, with a unique plan, you could run him through an enemy [[Town Control]] and maybe cause them some trouble. A Jinxed [[Sneak]] scout? Maybe, but your own team can get frustrated with crit failures caused by you too. Experiment first.		[[Jinxed]] is a weird one. You cause more crit fails, but some of them are yours!

	==Chem Reliant==		==Chem Reliant==
	At first it just sounds ''bad'' to be "[[Chem Reliant]]", but the truth is, ~~many~~ characters have this Trait because it doubles the length of time your drugs work. [[Drugs]] ~~are cheap~~, ~~but~~ it~~'s far more convenient~~ to ~~have a whole hour on a round of drugs and not have~~ to ~~worry about carrying another round with~~ you ~~into combat~~.		At first it just sounds ''bad'' to be "[[Chem Reliant]]", but the truth is, some characters have this Trait because it doubles the length of time your drugs work. That usually means your [[Drugs]] last a full hour rather than only 30 minutes. If you're doing work like mining or gathering [[Junk]], or even fighting easier fights, this Trait is fine. However, most combat-intense players do not like this perk since it reduces how well stimpaks work; in the heat of battle, when you need to restore [[Hit Points]] quickly, you need your stims to give you as many [[HP]] as they can.
	* PLUS: ~~Drug timers are doubled~~. Usually that means 60 minutes instead of only 30.		* PLUS: Drugs last twice as long. Usually that means 60 minutes instead of only 30.
	* MINUS: You regain only 2/3 of [[Hit Points]] gained from using medicines, like [[Stimpak]]s.		* MINUS: You regain only 2/3 of [[Hit Points]] gained from using medicines, like [[Stimpak]]s.

	==Bonehead==		==Bonehead==
	[[Bonehead]] gives you better crit hit resistance to eyes and head. It does not reduce the chance your enemy has to do a crit on you, but it reduces ~~that~~ crit ~~hit~~'~~s affect on~~ your eyes and head only. This benefit is considered a good combination with the [[Man of Steel]] perk. A lot of [[PvP]] fighters have this Trait.		[[Bonehead]] gives you better crit hit resistance to eyes and head.
