Racial Abilities
Hello folks,
The next part of this phase, racial abilities!
RACES
=====
This is fairly more straightforward. Each race now has three abilities instead of four, and the milestones for unlocking each racial ability is at level 1, 31, and 61. The races have also been refreshed with new abilities in some places! Nice!
The reason why we’ve cropped it down to 3 is to cut out some of the chaff within racial abilities that are just pre-existing abilities in generic skillsets.
ENDGAME
=======
The fun part! Once you reach endgame, you can now use the RACESKILL system to unlock -any- racial skill available, including a small selection of racial abilities that can only be obtained through this system.
If you’ve invested points into the system in the past, all those points have been returned to you as haven points. You can then reconvert them back and spend them how you wish.
Unlike before however, there is now a limit on how many racial skills you can have active at once. While you can unlock all of them, you will need to select up to a max of 6 abilities to be active, and only 1 racial regeneration ability (excluding willpower and endurance regen). Swapping them out as you desire is a fairly straight forward task though, the only requirement is that you are within your Haven to do so.
AUGMETICS
=========
Despairing at the new racial limit? Well fear not. You can unlock more racial slots for more active abilities by investing augmetic enhancement points into them. You can do this a max of 10 times, which is a lot of racial skills!
