===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. 

==== Stance Skills ====
Based on your current Stance, these skills change into one of three different versions.

==== Normal Skills ====
These skills are usable in all Stances (unless the Stance column denotes otherwise), and have the same effect in all Stances. Remember, though, that '''all''' Healing skills are self-only while in Dissonance stance.

=== Mounted Combat Skills ===
These skills can be used only while riding a [[war-steed]], and only while in the regions of [[East Rohan]], [[Wildermore]], and [[West Rohan]]. Passive skills which improve the war-steed's defensive capabilities remain effective even in other regions, but serve only to prevent forced dismount due to enemy attacks.
