Absent-minded - Trait

Description

You are fascinated by knowledge and learning and are capable of pursuing complex trains of thought quite quickly. However, your preoccupation with such thoughts makes you a little less aware of your surroundings.

Benefit

You gain a +1 bonus on Knowledge checks (although this does not let you use a Knowledge skill untrained).

Special

Drawback: You take a -1 penalty on Spot checks and Listen checks.

Roleplaying Ideas:
Characters with this trait might flit from idea to idea, trailing off in mid-sentence or mumbling their way through complex ideas. Conversely, characters with this trait might be extremely articulate but still allow their thoughts to move faster than the pace of a conversation.
