Default Skills

These skills are granted automatically as you gain levels. The effects of many of these skills are improved in various ways by your choice of specialization and how you spend your trait points. Some skills may also be replaced by an improved version of the same skill as you increase in level.

Default Gambits

Most Gambits belong to a Gambit chain: a sequence of skills of increasing length which, when executed from shortest to longest, bolster the effects of the last skill (the finisher). For an overview of the chains, see Warden Gambit Chains.
