  (especially makes sense as this gets tweaked in patches for balance reasons).
 
 
  TLDR  Feel free to document things if you are motivated to do so, just keep in mind this may be replaced
 
        eventually so don't spend too much time with the layout or formatting of tables. A simple basic
 
        reference list of existing abilities/recipes at this point is probably more suitable.

[[Jace Soral]] will teach you several alchemical recipes for poisoned weapons effective against werewolves. [[Sanja]], the pack leader, will teach you the following skills.

'''You are welcome to document abilities and recipes and such.''' Just please keep in mind, that such tables may be replaced in the future with advanced templating. All individual abilities/recipes are likely to go in separate pages, that will be pulled together by advanced use of DPL Extension. Because this requires some good planning, it is '''not advised''' to create any such individual pages atm. On the other hand it is very useful right now to plan the most useful way to present the information in the tables. These designs will become templates.
