{{DISPLAYTITLE:Player Skills (Class Abilities)}}
'''Player Skills''' is DreamWeave's custom '''Class Ability''' system: six classes, three tiers each, bought with '''Class Ability Points (CAP)''' at a [[Skill Trainers|class trainer]]. There are no class locks — your "class" is simply where you have spent your points, and anyone can splash into any class's Tier 1. Every ability below is implemented in the server; the trainers and tier-unlock economy are in final validation, and the numbers are current values that may be tuned during balancing.

== How it works ==

'''Class Ability Points (CAP)''' are the currency of the system. You earn CAP by leveling — one point at each of '''twelve milestone levels''': 20, 40, 60, 80, 100, 125, 150, 175, 200, 225, 250, and 275 — and can acquire more through the class-ability exchange (Luminance). You spend CAP at a '''class trainer''' to learn abilities.

There are no restrictions on ''who'' can learn what — your "class" is simply wherever you've spent your points. Anyone can splash into any class's Tier 1.

'''Buying an ability:'''
* Each ability has up to '''3 ranks''', bought one at a time, cheapest first.
* Every class's '''signature Tier-1 ability costs just 1 CAP for its first rank''' — your very first point buys your class's build-defining power.
* Purchases are made with prepaid tokens from your class trainer.

'''Unlocking deeper tiers''' (per class, permanent, survives a respec):

{| class="wikitable"
! Tier !! Unlock cost !! Requirement
|-
| '''Tier 1''' || free || open to everyone from the start
|-
| '''Tier 2''' || 3 CAP || 5 CAP already spent in that class
|-
| '''Tier 3''' || 8 CAP || 15 CAP already spent in that class
|}

'''Respec:''' you can refund and reallocate spent CAP. Tier unlocks you've already earned stay unlocked.

'''Reading the tables:'''
* '''Cost''' is shown per rank (e.g. <code>1 / 2 / 3</code> means rank 1 costs 1 CAP, rank 2 costs 2, rank 3 costs 3).
* Each tier's '''signature''' ability — its game-changer — is listed first and marked '''★'''.
* '''Enhanced <stat>''' adds a flat bonus to that stat's '''base''' value: '''+10 / +25 / +50''' at ranks 1/2/3 (the value ''at'' that rank, not cumulative). It counts toward wield requirements; attribute and vital bonuses aren't redistributable, and attribute bonuses cascade into every derived skill/vital.
* '''Training bundles''' apply that same +10/+25/+50 to ''every'' stat they list, as one 3-rank ability — and each bundle quietly houses the legacy skills that power its class's abilities, so the "utility" buy is never dead weight.
* '''Rating skills''' feed the same pools as your gear and Luminance auras: '''+3 / +6 / +10''' rating at ranks 1/2/3 (≈ +3/+6/+10% on that axis), added on top of everything else.
* Many combat abilities '''scale with a legacy skill''' (noted in the effect) — and that skill lives in the class's Training bundle.

----

=== Tier 1 — open ===
{| class="wikitable"
! Ability !! Ranks !! Cost !! Effect

|-

== Build tips ==

* '''Buy your signature first.''' Every class's Tier-1 signature costs 1 CAP at rank 1 — it's the single highest-impact point you'll ever spend.
* '''Training bundles pay for themselves.''' Each one houses the legacy skills that power its class's combat abilities (Alchemy → Poison Weapon, Fletching → Deadeye, Recklessness → Blood Fury, Arcane Lore → Overchannel, Leadership → Empowered Summons, and so on), so the "utility" buy is quietly a damage buy too.
* '''Some abilities chain.''' Rogue's Riposte needs Parry; Acid Proc needs Poison Weapon; Vanguard's Shield Check needs Parry ''and'' Thorns. Deep synergy builds reward buying across a class rather than cherry-picking.
* '''Avoidance is pooled.''' Parry (Rogue) and Shield Block (Vanguard) share one roll capped at 50% — they complement each other rather than multiply.
* '''Splashing is cheap, going deep is committed.''' Any character can grab another class's Tier-1 signature. Tier 2 and Tier 3 want real investment (5 then 15 CAP spent in that class) — which is why the two weapon-agnostic multipliers, Rogue's '''Attack Speed''' and Archmage's '''Flat Cast Speed''', sit behind deep unlocks instead of being universal splash picks.
* '''Watch the resource costs.''' Heavy Draw, Savage Blows, and Whirlwind trade stamina for damage; Overchannel (and Spell AOE together) trade mana for reach. They fall back to a normal hit when you can't pay, so they reward a stamina/mana-forward build.
* '''Ratings stack additively''' into the same pools as gear and Luminance auras — a smooth, always-useful top-up rather than a build-defining spike.
* '''A fully-built class ≈ +100% power in its core role''' — roughly double your damage throughput, or double your effective HP as a Vanguard — arriving in bursts: about +25% by the end of Tier 1, +60% through Tier 2, and +100% at Tier 3.
