you dont have to activate your traits there just alway on. Once you have them then look in the manuel and see what it does, you character can now do that whenever it need. But you dont have to tell him to.
Ex. If you character had Deadfall and you fall from a high spot you will take lees DMG than if you didnt have it.
Hopefully that was a good enofe job.
