The original concept of the trait roll (For Dragon Newts in WF)worked like this, with a %age roll where, for example,(and this is from memory) Valorous = 01-45, Cowardly 55-100. Faced with the choice of whether to be valorous or cowardly the 'Newt rolled %age dice a score of 46-54 would allow a "free-willed" choice, other wise the "instinctive" response was followed. I got the feeling this was to make Dragon Newts more "alien" and unguessable rather than as a rule for Player Characters though.
