Skills

Skills are an integral part of Vocations, affecting a character's combat and support capability in battle. They take the form of attack techniques, moves to aid other characters, and magick spells.

Also available alongside weapon skills are Core Skills and Augments, all of which are purchased with Discipline points.

These can be acquired and managed at the Union Inn in Gran Soren; Ecbal at The Encampment; or with Olra in Bitterblack Isle. Once a skill is purchased, it is unlocked for all other vocations that have that skill.

In Dragon's Dogma there are two tiers to every skill. In Dark Arisen some skills have a third tier added, no learnt but accessible only by wearing the appropriate Skill Rings or Skill Band.

As a character gains Experience Points, levels up and gains more proficiency in their Vocation, they can gain Rank and with it access to even more skills.
