List of General Skill Trees (Current)

This is the current list of General Skill Trees available to All characters along with a brief description, followed by the huge list of trees. As character progress though the game they choose skills and abilities that lie under each of these trees. Each character is allowed to select abilities from 3 of these trees chosen at character creation. Alternatively, if a character wishes to be a spellcaster, they may select one of these 3 choice to instead be from the list of magic lores instead of from the list below. Although no more than 1 of these choices may be a magic lore.

There are currently 10 skill trees.

List of Skill Trees-
Path of the Alchemist - Alchemists specialize in support and healing. They have many concoctions that also debilitate foes.
Path of the Assassin - Assassins focus on killing opponents by any means necessary. Assassins often employ dirty or brutal tactics to achieve victory.
Path of the Berserker - A Berserker is a wild combatant, often slashing wildly as foes with a weapon in each hand. Few foes can survive the onslaught of an enraged Berserker.
Path of the Commander - Some fight, some lead. Commanders lead well. They bring their allies to levels of power unattainable on their own. They also gain the ability to summon and recruit their own soldiers.
Path of the Duelist - Duelists specialize in one on one fighting. They are capable of striking opponents with speed and precision while dodging enemy attacks.
Path of the Engineer - Engineers are a jack of all trades. They upgrade their items and can build wild contraptions to fill a variety of roles ranging from generators to cannons.
Path of the Guardian - Guardians are the protectors on the battlefield. They are very difficult to kill as they absorb and block attacks with ease. They can guard both allies and themselves with ease.
Path of the Juggernaut- Juggernauts are wrecking balls on the battlefield. Nobody wields larger weapons or hits harder than the juggernaut.
Path of the Marksman- Marksmen are masters of ranged combat. Proficient in a range of weapons from longbows, to pistols and throwing knives. They strike foes down at a range where they cannot retaliate.
Path of the Scout- Scouts are the mobile presence on a battlefield. Impossible to pin down, and impossible to avoid. The scout is everywhere he wants to be and nowhere he doesn't.


(If anyone has better names for the paths I am welcome to suggestions)

Here is an example-

Type: Powerful Melee Attack
Effect: Add +5/10/20S to this attack. If this attack is performed with a two-handed weapon it deals an additional 2/3/4 damage.


It shouldn't be too difficult to figure out most of it but examples never hurt, so let's break it down line by line.

Power Strike (3 Ranks)

Power Strike is the name of the ability. The # of ranks is the maximum number of skill points a player may invest in this ability. This specific ability can have up to 3 skill points spent on it.

Requirements: Seasoned Warrior

The Requirements line says what other skills are needed before a player can invest into this ability. Note that a player must have all ranks in the prerequisite skill before investing in the current skill.

Type: Powerful Melee Attack

The type is the type of ability. There are three types of abilities passive, abilities, and attacks. Passive abilities are always active and do not require any special action from the player to activate. Abilities and attacks however do the effect listed in the effect descriptor. Attacks are a little trickier in they are additional effects added on top of a basic melee or ranged attack.

If a skill is an Ability or Attack it will have a range in front of it. In this case this attack is melee, and therefor can only be performed against targets in the same zone as your character,

Abilities and attacks are both activated and take up a players turn.The only exception to this rule is Free abilities which do not take up an action. Regardless only one free ability may be used per turn.

Powerful is an important keyword that means a skill can only be used once per encounter.

Effect: Add +5/10/20S to this attack. If this attack is performed with a two-handed weapon it deals an additional 2/3/4 damage.

As described above this effect is on top of a standard melee attack. In this case a melee attack is made with either an additional 5, 10, or 20S depending on if this character has 1,2, or 3 ranks in this skill. The /'s always correspond to the number of points invested in a skill. If no /s are given before a number it is the same for all ranks of that skill.
