| + | |||
| + | (Gorgonzola:) I originally used "Abilities" here, but to distinguish from the special abilities above, | ||

| + | |||

| + | |||
| + | Some arguments against documenting level up rewards: | ||
| + | |||
| + | * Takes ton of time to manually edit long tables. | ||
| + | |||
| + | * All skills can potentially still change a lot during alpha, or even be removed for balance reasons. | ||
| + | |||
| + | * It's somewhat covered in the game Skills window (you can see upcoming rewards), and above (overview). | ||
| + | |||
| + | * It's somewhat spoiler material too.. let players enjoy discovering the level up skills. | ||
