Aliens vs Predator: The MUD

=-------------------------------------------------------------------------------=

Ability Points allow a player to choose their skills. All members of a race receive Freebie abilities, which are the abilities listed in the first tier of the right-most column shown when a player types 'abilities'. This tier of abilities costs nothing to have and does not count towards your three ability points. Accordingly, you cannot 'unlearn' this tier either.

Every race has three skill trees, and each skill tree has three tiers. With one Ability Point, a player can boost one of his skill trees up one tier. Earning the tier to a skill tree entitles the player to ALL the skills listed under that tier. Players can spend their Ability Points in any way they choose.

Examples:

A marine can invest 3 Ability Points into specialist, raising his

specialist tier from 0 to 3, while retaining 1 point in rifleman.

A marine can also invest 2 ability points into rifleman, and one into
support, thereby boosting his rifleman tier from 1 to 3 and
his support tier from 0 to 1.

A marine can invest an ability point into every skill tree, resulting in
him earning one tier from each skill tree, with two in firearms.

Remember: When you earn a skill tree's tier, you get all of the abilities
of that tier.

Players will have 3 Ability Points given to them at creation. They can
unlearn their skill trees if they are in recall. Unlearning skill trees
is free.

Please see the help files on each tree of your
race for more information.
