10/14 — Children of Morta: Skills & Family Progression
9. THE FAMILY TRAITS — FOUR MILESTONES PER STORY TREE
The four tiers below are 4 / 8 / 14 / 20 invested points respectively. These are automatic milestone benefits, not four competing buttons where you choose one and lose the others. Rune-access traits expand available cross-character rune effects; they do not permanently give every character another hero's entire moveset.
JOHN
4 — Of the Same Blood: shared maximum-health improvement.
8 — Father's Authority: Heaven's Strike rune access.
14 — Father's Protection: intervention against a fatal hit; not John's personal protection.
20 — Father's Passion: health regeneration in dungeons.
LINDA
4 — We Move as One: shared movement improvement.
8 — Family Lookout: Explosive Crescendo rune access.
14 — A Sister's Care: defensive Harmonic Slam intervention after heavy damage.
20 — Family Harmony: additional travel speed while weapons are put away.
KEVIN
4 — Sharp Kid: critical-damage improvement.
8 — A Knife for All: access to Kevin-related runes.
14 — Spirit of the Family: Execute intervention after a powerful enemy attack.
20 — Refined Edge: another critical-damage improvement.
MARK
4 — Float like Mark: faster evade recovery.
8 — Brother's Support: Guardian's Rage rune access.
14 — Have Your Back: Whip assistance at a high hit count.
20 — Fluid as Water: one additional evade charge.
LUCY
4 — Youthful Optimism: start with one gemstone.
8 — Storms for All: Lucy-related rune access.
14 — The Fire Child: decoy help tied to a well-timed evade.
20 — Soul of the Family: another starting gemstone.
JOEY
4 — Kin's Brace: faster Rage gain.
8 — I'll Clear a Path: Whirlwind intervention against a surrounding crowd.
14 — Family's Hammer: Divine Smite rune access.
20 — Cousin's Devotion: longer Guardian's Rage duration.
APAN
4 — Asva's Healing Touch: improved healing-globe benefit.
8 — A Friend in Need: shield response to elemental damage.
14 — Family's Shield: shielding-related runes.
20 — Asva Manipulation: more healing-globe drops.
The Apan names/tiers and effect order are cross-referenced between her indexed tree and the independent build guide. Exact magnitudes, cooldowns and trigger wording remain unverified.
