The Skills

Skills improve the hero's characteristics in many different ways. Each character class has different skills. Every hero starts adventuring with 2 requisite skills. On reaching the next experience level, the player can distribute additional skill points in order to improve these existing skills. The number of skill points gained depends on the level of the hero. As a hero develops they will be able to learn up to 6 additional skills; a new skill is available at each of the following level intervals: 3, 6, 12, 20, 30 and 50. These abilities are very powerful and they should be chosen carefully depending on the character class and the preferred style of playing.
