Might I be the first to be completely not constructive and applaud your use of time in creating that chart.

Could be a nice thread, this. Problem is that a lot of possible combinations in the chart are just plain useless. But what about...

BER = Berserker
DG = Marksman
2INT = Medium
2WHI = Engineer or Assembler
BAD = Tank
SHO = Redneck
BER + DM = Cyborg Ninja
DG + WHI = Hitman
TH + WHI = Gun addict
BAD + DM = Max Payne

Useless combos like DG + JUG, BER + TH and friends = Trait waster :P

Uhhh... Whizkid is WK not WHI, Shottyman is SM not SHO...

Question: Does order matter?  I mean does it matter if I got DG first before WK, versus say WK before DG?

If it does, you get your 81.  Otherwise, it's about half of that number, give or take a few rounding errors.  ;-)

Instead of Force Recon, Cateye's should be more accurately called Pointman, which is closer to the use of the master trait (To scout ahead of the force, searching the enemies in an insecure territory)

What would be nice is if this build name feature is implemented, the game would keep a collection of builds you did before in player.wad. Wee, more stuff to achieve, and it would surely encourage people to experiment with various builds. :)

I'm not sure I agree with Commando for MGK. I've always associated that with somewhat heavier weapons - Combat Shotguns, Chainguns, and Plasma Rifles in DoomRL terms.

A couple ideas:

Master Traits:
Cateye: Vanguard

Advanced Traits:
Whizkid/Juggler: Quartermaster
Dodgemaster/Badass: Scout (lots of survival, less emphasis on killing)
Intuition/Dualgunner: Sniper

Ber + Jug = Crazy Juggler
Jug + DG = Indecisive Marksman
Jug = Clown Act
Jug + DM = Acrobat
Jug + Int = Tactician
Jug + Bad = Carefree Tactician

I think we should use Acrobat for Jug + DM, simply because you are quick on both your feet and your hands.

Some very interesting ideas in here and only a handful left!
I notice most people like naming those useless ones
