Thanks for the answers! As I've been playing some more i noticed that my character has gained a rather impressive spread of negatives, all that i gained from doing things myself, like equestrian from beating and then sexing the centaurs and cuckoo for cuckoo from the harpy for example. Is it possible for these ones to gain some beneficial traits if your the one who chooses it as opposed to being beaten and having the trait forced on you? The only reason I ask is because i love most of the encounters and monsters and wanted to see if i could get closer too them without incurring negatives.
Edit: Beneficial only in the sense that they don't incur negatives i mean, its supposed to be roguelike after all!
