The following abilities denote the use of weapons and armor used for adventuring. While no weapon or armor requires proficiencies to use, it is advised to not fight without one. Most of the skills are self explanatory, but definitions have been given where necessary. Where a group of skills is seperated by brackets, you are required to take a lower level proficiency before upgrading to the higher one for that specific proficiency tree. The number after a skills name indicates its EXP cost for a character to learn.
