1. This one is on the list to be done. It's in the FRUA FAQ as a wish list item, and I hope to implement them all. I haven't started it yet because the spells are in flux.

2. The Quest Stage event will let you check for a particular quest stage, and you can directly manipulate stages using the Utilities event also. The character status doesn't affect event triggers. You can do more advanced character based triggers using the Logic Block event. It's a powerful event, but is more difficult to use. There is some good help for it in the help file. It doesn't currently include a check on character status, but it can be added.

3. You can do some race/gender checks with LogicBlock. Chain a WhoTries to a gender-checking LogicBlock, which chains to a success or fail event. The LogicBlock can check Thief abilities (ReadLanguages) for a specific character using the RunTimeVars, but not for the whole party. In fact, the LogicBlock is supposed to be a generic catch-all event that can be modified to perform checks on just about anything. Make a list of the triggers you need and the LogicBlock can be adjusted to comply.

4. Thanks, didn't notice that one. Someday we hope to fully implement customizable races/classes/rules, and those text files (like traits.txt) are an early start on it. They aren't meant to be edited yet though.
