Passive and active skills

Passive skills change your numbers for the whole fight: more damage, dodge, block, armour, health, tempo or critical chance. Some are trade-offs, such as more damage for less health.
Active skills roll to trigger at the start of your action, often a limited number of times per fight. They include healing, berserk, nets and hugs that pin an enemy, bombs, roars that scare enemy pets away, hypnosis that steals them, and unavoidable crushing blows.
Reaction skills trigger outside your own action, for example after you dodge or block.

A fighter can own up to 8 skills, signature skill included, and at most two secondary schools. See schools for how that limit works, and how stats and skills combine.
