Observation/Sense Motive

[The Creator]

Support Issue: Other
The Issue: When I made my character I envisioned his being of the utmost caution, being careful to make sure he knew his surroundings very well. And because of that, I selected several traits that had to do with Observation, or, knowing what was going on around someone. He doesn't like to be snuck up on but, recently, many of the traits which I had picked for him were put into Sense Motive.

Now, I am not here to complain about the change, because I find the change necessary but rather to inquire if I could have the opportunity to reselect my traits or leave them in Observation.

Here are the traits I picked which, below all bolster Sense Motive, but were originally Observation traits.

I guess what I mean to ask is, I wish to keep my SP in Observation, not wanting to switch it over, but all of my traits are now for Sense Motive which, in training Sense Motive, would apply to Sense Motive instead of Observation.

Thanks for the help, and if you need me to clear things up, I can do so here.

Bump. Made this about 10 days ago and haven't received a response. Don't even know if I'm allowed to bump but don't want to PM staff if they don't know how to resolve the issue.

For some reason, I get the feeling that this problem is void to the staff. Like, if you wanted chocolate ice cream, and then bought a tub of it, and got home expecting chocolate, but opened it up to find vanilla instead, all you can really do is just accept it and eat the vanilla. Or go back and return the ice cream, but you already opened it. But they might except it in this case, considering that what you had expected was not what you purchased.

I'm not very smart when it comes to the whole trait/skills system, but I'm going to assume they're going to tell you to just keep those, even though they don't pertain to what you originally wanted them to, or revamp and get different traits. I don't even know if that's allowed, but, in this case, maybe it would be?

Or maybe they'll tell you something different. Shrug. I'm no expert, sorry, just trying to voice what I think might be the outcome.

Sorry if I'm wrong, and, let's hope I am. uvu

I appreciate the assistance but I'd like only replies that have a concrete answer/solution from now on.

Those traits that has been altered during the observation/sense motive change ought to be allowed to be swapped with another trait as long as its observation based. This is so your character concept won't change. I will check with a higher up for confirmation though.
Make sure that the traits fits the background of the character.

[The Doctor]

you can reselect as long as it does not alter the character much, so if you want observation then you'll have to choose observation. No new traits all together.

This is Heero.

Thank you, doctor, you can lock things up here.
