Skills

There are three types of skills in Wartales:

• Active - all class based and most other of them consume some Valorous Points ( VP ).
• Passive - don't need any VP to cause effect, some of them works since the beginning of the battle or when you fulfill their condition.
• Base - don't need any VP, only one Base action can be used per turn. All main-hand Weapon Skills are of the Base type.

Some skills can be improved with Skill Mastery book .
