| Animal Handling | Learned from a Shrine outside Serbule Crypt | |
| Battle Chemistry | Using alchemical concoctions in the heat of battle. Not for the faint of heart, or the particularly sane, this combat style specializes in area affects of all types.

| Shield Mastery | Reach Friends favor level with Tyler Green | |
| Staff | ||
| Sword | Expertise with swords, rapiers and the like. Swords are very damaging, and can reduce an enemy's Rage. | Learned by new characters automatically. |
| Unarmed | Mastery of the martial arts. Not especially damaging, but with great controlling and stunning abilities. Generally requires one or both hands to be empty, although you can use kicks even with other items wielded. | Learned by new characters automatically. |
