The following abilities can be learned by both humans and supernaturals, unless otherwise specified. Any ability which can be purchased by supernaturals as well as humans cost 50 points for supernaturals, and 30 for humans. Abilities that are reserved solely for humans cost 50 points per level, 55 for draconians and mystics. Human Only abilities are reserved for humans, hunters, draconian riders, mystics, and changelings.
Draconians, and Mystics do not gain abilities that are available to other Supernaturals but can learn the skills that Humans, Changelings, and Hunters are permitted. To learn the abilities requires a slightly increased cost of 35 points per ability.
These are the core ways for Humans and Hunters to improve themselves and lead to more advanced and direct skillsets. It should be kept in note that abilities must be purchased and paid for on top of stat, as stats are merely prerequisites. (i.e., To gain the Alchemy ability of Heating, it costs 60 points if you purchase Stat Points. 5 for the one intellect, 5 for the one endurance, and 50 for the ability itself).
Humans, hunters, mystics and draconians gain a starting bonus with their 200 points, to be spent solely on Stat Points. Humans, hunters and draconians gain 4 stat points (SP) upon creation to be distributed how they see fit. This is to be used on stats, not abilities.
Stat based abilities may seem intimidating at first, but our friendly Staff is always there to help if you need it!
