Veteran Traits
From Sagataflwiki
This article deals with the purchase of Veteran Traits, and their later usage.
Veteran Traits are purchased with Veteran Points, which has its own article. Eventually rules must be created for how characters can acquire Veteran TRaits in play; this will - eventually - be dealt with in the article Veteran Trat Acquisition.

The goal is to increase the chance of each player having fun, by giving advice helping the player to decide whether to buy the ability or not (if the article is about one or more abilities) or use the option (if the article is about something that characters can choose to do), and later on how to make use of the ability (e.g. to avoid any pitfalls that aren't extremely obvious).
Please note
Clarify, elaborate, try to predict and answer questions that are somewhat likely to be asked during character creation or during play.
