Skill

From NexusWiki

For an alphabetical list of all skills, see Category:Skills.

Skills grant characters new abilities and powers. These vary from improved accuracy and damage to innate armors and attacks. Each class has a different set of skills available.

Skills are purchased with Character Points (CP). Players can purchase additional skills for their character at anytime by clicking the Buy Skills button which is located in the Character Box or the bottom of the character's Profile in the Legacy Interface. In the Enhanced Interface, skills can be purchased by viewing the character's Profile and opening the Purchase Skills pane.

[edit] Trees

Base Tier 1 skills cost 10 CP. Base Tier 2 skills cost 20 CP. Base Tier 3 skills cost 30 CP.

Certain skills require a prerequisite skill to be purchased first. These child skills cost double the amount of their parent. There are certain grandchild skills which cost triple the amount of their grandparent.

For example, the Hand to Hand Combat skill costs 10 CP. The child skill, Martial Arts, costs 20 CP. And the grandchild skill, Advanced Martial Arts costs 30 CP. Costing a grand total of 60 CP.

The most expensive skills currently in the game are grandchild Tier 3 skills with a cost of 90 CP. Purchasing the parent, child, and grandchild in this case would cost a grand total of 180 CP.

[edit] Tiers

When a character advances into a new Tier, their skills from previous Tiers remain available. It is also still possible to purchase skills from previous Tiers.

There are technically no skills which require a prerequisite from a previous Tier. Greater Infusion, Greater Regeneration, and Greater Smite do not require purchase of Infuse, Lesser Regeneration, and Lesser Smite.

The only exceptions to this rule would be The Way of the Armorer and The Master of the Hidden Storehouse which require Engineering or Repair Item.
