Perfectblue:
Thanks Klear. In the trait menu on the advanced traits most of them have requirements and block. Under the block category it lists various other skills and some are colored white others are red. If a skill is listed under a certain color as "block" does that mean it disables that particular skill?

I am assuming a skill marked blocked in red means that skill is disabled. And if thats the case its somewhat discouraging because there is not as much room to customize your traits.

shark20061:
All traits listed under Blocks cannot be taken if you plan on getting that master trait.  A blocked trait shown in red means that you already have points in it, and therefore don't meet the requirements of the master trait you're looking at.

Pricklyman:
Yeah, as shark said, the skill is disabled only if you decide to get that master trait. Essentially, this is to prevent OP builds which result is...if you took both.

For example, most shotgun masters block Eagle Eye, because there is really no reasoning behind a shotgunner who can also (adequately) handle a chaingun or pistol. (Also, it's OP to specialise in shotguns and chainguns...and have a master in one! =P)

Matt_S:
It's sort of interesting from a design perspective which traits are blocked.  Some stronger masters (Ammochain, Malicious Blades, and Sharpshooter come to mind) block traits that would be really helpful, while "weaker" traits block things that aren't as big of a deal relatively speaking.

Ashannar:
..which doesn't really follow in my case, since I consider cateye to be the most powerful master, yet it blocks nothing I generally want to take.
