Attribute

Skirmish Field Manual - Traits excerpt: Attribute traits come in two types: Role traits and cosmetic traits. The Role trait determines the fundamental role your soldier will be filling. You may only equip one Role trait, and it will dictate some of your later trait choices. The Role trait will change your Soldiers armours and weapons, as well as their basic abilities. For instance, the Archer role has medium armour and does good ranged damage, while the Protector has heavy armour and low damage, but draws aggro well. The cosmetic traits allow you to choose the hair colour, hair style, clothing and even race of your Soldier.

Here are the different roles available from the Skirmish Trainer:

Role	Armour	Damage	Special	Design
Role: Archer	Medium	High Ranged	Increased Critical Rating	Single Target DPS
Role: Bannerguard	Heavy	Medium Melee	Armour Aura	Variety of Buffing, Healing & Tanking
