Traits

Abilities, also knows as Traits, are passive effects chosen by the player. You gain 1 point per 2 levels. If you die and de-level, you will still keep your Trait points in the chosen Ability unless you refund the points.

Apogea has a Trait Tree with different paths designed around weapons types and armors.

Most traits will allow you to allocate one point in them, but allocating more will require prior traits to be higher. This means you will not get access to the most powerful traits until around level 24.
