Negative luminary traits

[Turkish Hair Graft]

Got the absent minded trait on my leader, and its a bit ridiculous. -10% worker resource output and +20% research upkeep is super crappy.

Is there a chance/method for these to be removed?

"Hey Professor Bob, we love the influx of research you've been bringing us, but the effect it's having on the rest of the staff isn't working out for us, so we're going to have to let you go."

These are the tough decisions you have to make as a leader. Personally I'd probably keep them and try to make up the loss elsewhere, but I also tend to run research heavy empires.

Nothing ridiculous here. You're Spiritualist so going for Psionic - Psionic final form of Luminary have no negative effects (but weak positive). That's a price.

I mean, yes, I am aware that there are other positive traits on the leader.

Is there a way to remove it, or a chance for it to be removed?

You cannot remove negative traits on the luminary, however you will only ever have 2 negative traits by the end of the story-line for Under One Rule.

If you have selected the path of maintain the status que you will only receive 1 random luminary negative trait if you have not selected one at leader creation. So might want to pick your poison to work with it along with getting another luminary trait.

If you proclaim imperial rule you will get the Paranoid Tyrant trait through the storyline, you will not receive any other negative trait. You will get a pop up saying you gained one but it will not be applied due to the negative limit amount on the luminary. They are the only leader that can have at max two negative luminary traits.

If you make your leader the chosen one through any of the chosen traits, they will not remove those negatives due to the luminary's special case. They are the best leader in the game if you want an empire built around strong leaders.
