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.

Pet Summoning and Command Skills

The Lore-master may summon Pets to aid them in battle. Only 1 Pet may be active at a time. 3 Pets are gained through leveling, 3 are gained through traits in the Keeper of Animals trait tree, and 1 is gained by specializing in the Ancient Master. Lore-masters have several command skills they can use to control their Pets. Upon using a Command skill, the currently summoned Pet uses their respective skill (Minor, Major, Raging, Protection). Yellow and Blue-line Lore-masters have different Minor Pet abilities, and Blue-line Lore-masters are the only ones that have access to Raging and Protection skills.
