Hope that helps explain it for you.
But that can't be right.

Are you saying that any trait over 10 is supposed to be flagged with the message "This trait is too high for the current power level?"

'Cause it's not. A character with 14 Toughness and 0 Dodge/Parry should not get that message -- that's simply not too high for the current power level. Read similarly for effects. Damage 12 (which gets the trade-off arrow) is fine for PL10 so long as your attack bonus is +8 or less.

I'm not saying the trade-off arrow is an error message; I'm saying it's in error.
