The thought of the Idol of Bongu has also crossed my mind in relation to the missing traits. The last time I played through the game I focused on getting as many traits as possible for each of my characters (except the vampire traits), therefore I reloaded quite a number of times. My female human paladin gained the Giant Strike trait, as did my male dwarf barbarian (after gaining the berserk trait in the first attempt). My male human ninja got the Giant Strike trait too. The same was the case with male human monk. My female elf warlock was only eligible for the +1 fortitude - even after an excessive number of reloads. I cannot remember if this was also the case with my male human bard, but I think so. So far as I have understood the pattern of the gifts from the Idol of Bongu, it only yields the berserk and the giant strike trait to warrior-like roles. I.e. characters that can only train a few of the weapon characteristics such as bow, dagger and mace are eligible for the "warrior" traits. But do post your experiences, everyone.
