The Broken Hourglass Monday Update

Planewalker Games' official website has received its usual Monday update for The Broken Hourglass, this time profiling many of the game's character traits.
Armor Optimization: The bulk-weight of armor is cut in half for someone with this trait. All else being equal, heavier armor offers more protection from damage than lighter armor or clothing, but its heft also can create encumbrance penalties to attack and defense rolls. Armor Optimization helps reduce that penalty.

Monkey Grip: The bulk-weight of weapons is cut in half for someone with this trait. The offensive flip-side of Armor Optimization.

Magic Wielder: You can equip and wield magical items for less than the usual mana cost.
