Traits are a separate set of skills, all of which are passive, that provide strong bonuses towards active skills and stats that define one's playstyle.

Overview

Traits were revealed during the Diablo 3 Gameplay Panel in Blizzcon 2010 by Jay Wilson. They provide strong bonuses to all active skills and stats, essentially allowing a player to upgrade a specific skill or playstyle which defines them and their build. Mechanically, they are suppose to replace Diablo 2's stats.

Not many specifics are known about Traits, but there are around 30 traits per class, you get a trait point every 2nd level (every odd number), although, the developers plan to change this somehow. Traits have levels, depending on the trait, they have between 1 and 5 levels.

Traits are unique to each class, except a few which crossover with other classes where it makes sense. Every trait has a sort of description or backstory that explains the trait and its effects.
