Traits and Techniques make up non-numerical features of a character. Traits are passive character features representing their background and personality and range from simply a notable detail to situational bonuses or penalties. Techniques are abilities that characters can use.

I'm crafting the main mechanics for my RPG and need advice on the armor/combat system. Should I stick with 2d6 or switch to 2d8 with 1d6 for damage? My idea is for armor to act as a damage mitigator with its own durability, absorbing hits over time. #GameDev #RPGMechanics

Some character stats derived from Attributes are Health, Pain Threshold, and Focus Threshold. Health is the sum of the tens digit of each Strength, Endurance, and Will plus 5 and changes along with these Attributes. Health is how many Wounds a character can withstand.

Don't Roll: Great RPG Mechanics
#RPGMechanics Week Ten (finale)
This is maybe more a technique than a mechanic, but it represented a significant change in approach and play for me over the years. This has two components– the first is “don’t roll if it isn’t important.”

Escalation Die: Great RPG Mechanics
#RPGMechanics Week Ten (finale)
I’ve talked about a lot of big scale mechanics on these lists: sub-systems and frameworks impacting play. But it's interesting to consider how small, discrete mechanics can drastically change things.
