Enact a new rule, “Traits”:-

Each Detective has zero or more Traits, tracked as a list of Trait names in the GNDT. A Detective cannot have more than one of the same Trait.

Each Trait has a Name, an Effect and a Nature (either Positive, Neutral or Negative). The available traits are as follows, in the format “Name (Nature) Effect”:-

* Observant (Positive) A Search Roll made for an Observant Detective has its result increased by 1.
* Dogged (Positive) The first time that a Dogged Detective finds a Disproof Clue during a Search, a ten-sided die is rolled for them: on a result of 6 or higher, they find another Clue.
* Forensic (Positive) The first time that a Forensic Detective finds a Method Clue during a Search, they find another Clue.
* Scruffy (Negative) If a Scruffy Detective would find a Clue about a Location other than the Kitchen, Hall or Cellar, or about whether Casey is the Murderer, they instead find no Clue.
* Alcoholic (Negative) All die rolls made for an Alcoholic Detective during a Search have their result reduced by 1.
* Arrogant (Negative) If an Arrogant Detective would find a Motive Disproof, they instead find no Clue.

A Detective may give themselves one or more Traits at any time, so long as they always have an equal number of Positive and Negative Traits.
