Training manual

so it's my understanding that you get a negative trait from using this manual, and it will replace the 4th trait if you have 4 traits already. But what if i use multible manuals? will it replace the 4th only even if that was a negative trait from the other manual?

Update, just tryed it out for my self. So i used a Cardio book first and it gave me the penalty we all love but... when i used the second book for fighting... no penalty trait was given or atleased non that shows, it still gives me Physically Training -66% cardio

2n update, so i toke this person along for looting and she started to talk, next thing i know the penalty trait was gone.

It's the second half of this sentence. You do get the additional -66% exp rate traits when retraining multiple skills but they don't display. This isn't a problem really as you will still max it out in the end.

I'm not sure why they added that penalty, presumably to stop situational specific spamming of the retraining manuals, but its a useless addition really.

After some more testing I was convinced the 4th skill isn't replaced at all. See I have this character with unbreakable skill that gives +45 health, After some time my character started talking about how he loves movies and my unbreakable didn't show anymore but my character had the same health, So I installed a mod to check my character and there it was... unbreakable.

So yes your right, using multiple Respec Books Gives a negative Trait but the 4th row only shows the most newest trait, So a tactic for people that want the perfect character with nice traits is to pick one with 3 traits from the get-go and Respec first before taking this character as a companion for there hearth to hearth talk. Do note that Unbreakable is gone put it self in 4th place if a new trait is discovered, With the exception of Respec-traits.
