Abilities

Each character has # abilities. Abilities have many different possible effects. In general, abilities must have a skill point allocated before they can be used. A skill point is gained every time a character levels up.

Typical Attributes of an Ability

• It deals damage, applies CC, and/or applies a buff/debuff.
• It costs a character's ability resource to use it. Alternatively, it can have no cost.
• It has a cooldown period after being used, a period of time in which the ability cannot be used.
• It can be leveled up with skill points. Leveling up an ability can: shorten the cooldown period, increase its damage, strengthen its CC's effect or duration, lengthen duration of a buff/debuff.

Abilities are important to master and are the main focus of a character's design.
