The +2 diplomacy and +30 sex opinion bonus for being attractive seems... odd considering you can get to 25 diplomacy with a bit of luck and focus. It would be nice if you could set percentages for traits and the like, so you could add +20% diplomacy and +50% sex opinion, together with 2 diplomacy and +20 sex opinion. These percentages are added together and if you are really well versed in diplomacy you can truly boost it with the attractive trait.
This example is probably not very good, but you don't know half the appliances it can have in modding.
For example, an uneducated genius should probably not get similar traits to a well-educated average set of brains. That's what the percentages could add, +2 skills across the board and +30% to each skill, for example. This means that if you are properly educated as a genius you could make a lot of use of it, but if you let genius kids rot in their room they'll just become below-average courtiers.
Another similar request would be to add "synergies" and "discords", WIP terms for multiple traits or modifiers working together to create an even greater sum, or worse one.
An arbitrary cruel man should be even better at intrigue, as he has no qualms about killing innocents and minors or displacing honorable people from power. An arbitrary man alone would not have such an intrigue bonus as it could be seen as laziness.
On that topic, a "discord" could happen if a slothful and arbitrary man exists, he gets even worse skills in for example stewardship or diplomacy. It is effectively the same as a synergy but it makes skills worse.
