This mod expands upon Jae’s Cold Trader origin, making it a fully fleshed-out option for player characters. It includes a unique class ability, five talents, and custom stat and skill modifiers to bring the archetype in line with the game’s other origins.
Class Ability
Cold Trader’s Acumen – Grants faction-based buffs that scale with your reputation among the trade houses.
Talents
The Cold Trader keeps the original talents and adds three new ones to highlight their mastery of Skills, Fellowship, and Perception:
Gunslinger – Reduces the cost of second weapon attacks while dual wielding.
Never Play Fair – Use Fellowship in place of Intelligence for skill checks.
Cold Confidence – Use Fellowship instead of Willpower.
Closer – Improves armor penetration against weakened opponents.
Watch Your Back – Use Perception in place of Agility for dodge.
Triumphs and Darkest Hours have been rewritten with original text, replacing the reused Crime Lord entries.
Fixes
This mod also corrects the bug where Cold Trader’s Acumen failed to apply its Coercion bonus. (Do not combine with other mods that patch this issue, as the effect will stack.)
Note: This mod does not alter Jae’s own abilities or progression — only those of the Rogue Trader or mercenary companions.

Instructions
You will need to install MicroPatches version 1.17.4 or higher for this mod to work.
unzip to C:\Users\Me\AppData\LocalLow\Owlcat Games\Warhammer 40000 Rogue Trader\Modifications
Once the folder is there, you may need to edit your OwlcatModificationManagerSettings.json file. This is one level up from the mod's folder. It needs to look something like:
{"$id":"1","SourceDirectories":[],"EnabledModifications":["jhColdTrader","BigFlagship","jhExpandedArchetypes"],"ActiveModifications":["jhColdTrader","jhExpandedArchetypes"],"DisabledModifications":[]}
You will need to add the two entries for jhColdTrader following the format above. Once this file is edited you can start your game and you should see the mod in the in-game mod tool (not the built in Unity Mod Manager)
