Skills

Players are able to use a series of unique skills from three different pools in BWRP: Novice, Profession, and Race. Novice skills are able to be chosen by any character minus those who choose the doctor profession. Profession and racial skills are locked to each character’s individual professions and races.

You may also unlock additional abilities with roleplay.
