'''Unimplemented Skills'''. Because the game is in early beta testing, there are a number of skills that still haven't been added to the game. There are some gaps in the skill tree which will eventually be filled in but for the moment are empty. Also, after level 16 there are no more level-based skills.

(Not implemented yet ...) For buffs, only the skill points of the buff TARGET count. That is, if a player with 10 points invested in a buff casts it on you and you don't know the skill at all or don't have skill points invested, you will receive the skill at the base effectiveness. In other words, skill points represent the player's mastery of the skill -- no points, no mastery. On the reverse, if a player with 0 skill points casts a buff on you and you have 5 points invested, you receive the buff at the 5-point level. In this case, it doesn't matter how inexperienced the other player is, your mastery still carries through.

Skills

Heroes start out with at least one skill, and gain more as they advance in levels. Skills come in different types: passive, combat, noncombat, and buff.

Passive skills are always active—you don't have to do anything, and you continually gain the benefit.

Combat skills can only be used in combat, and generally help heroes inflict damage, hinder their opponent, or something similar. They require Power Points (PP) to use.

Noncombat skills can be used only when you're not in combat. They can do any number of things, such as heal your hero or temporarily improve one of your abilities. They require Power Points (PP) to use.

Buffs are also noncombat spells, but they can be cast on other players as well as yourself. They require Power Points (PP) to use.

Skill Points

Skill points let players improve skills. Each skill starts at 0 and can have up to 10 skill points invested in it. Players earn skill points when they level up, and may obtain skill points by other methods.

For buffs, only the skill points of the buff TARGET count. That is, if a player with 10 points invested in a buff casts it on you and you don't know the skill at all or don't have skill points invested, you will receive the skill at the base effectiveness. In other words, skill points represent the player's mastery of the skill -- no points, no mastery. On the reverse, if a player with 0 skill points casts a buff on you and you have 5 points invested, you receive the buff at the 5-point level. In this case, it doesn't matter how inexperienced the other player is, your mastery still carries through.

Skills by Class

Each class skill is listed below, along with its effect. Equations are given to explain how invested skill points will affect the ability. Equations have an X to denote a multiple of the number of current skill points invested. They also list a Max: line just to simplify what the value of a maxed-out skill would look like.

Damage spells with caps can have "hard caps" (absolute limit) or "soft caps" (point at which damage becomes lessened by some factor).
