With this new system comes 9 different player trait/passive ability sets which allow for further customization of play-style.
These range from increased defence to gaining double jump & infinite wall vault.
Beware that the perks they offer are not without trade-offs.
One of our favorite is bloodthirsty which will gradually drain your health but allow you to heal from injured enemies (with a number of other augments to your damage).
Achievements

Player Damage Overhaul
Getting hit carries more impact and taking heavy damage (particularly from ranged, melee or explosions) can stun you for a split second.
This makes running through encounters a fair bit more challenging...
