ADVANCED ABILITY INTRODUCTION
Unlike basic abilities, advanced abilities must have been taught or learned in order to perform them. Many of these abilities will have very specific outcomes that don’t always require dice checks. Advanced abilities will also not follow the rank system that basic abilities do, instead most of these abilities will have several levels of mastery that require a certain amount of ability points to achieve. Ability points will be rewarded by the DM every time an advanced ability is used, allowing players to level up there characters abilities based directly on use, however ability points will vary based on DM preference to how said abilities were used in the context of the RP, to make for upmost realism. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 LEARNING ADVANCED ABILITIES
Advanced abilities represent skilled tasks that can, in most cases, not just be done without any prior knowledge to the action in question. These are special skills that allow your character various bonuses through the RP depending on scenario. In most cases learning an advanced ability is something that requires another, be it by a character in the party controlled by another player or the DM controlling an NPC. While in other cases the abilities can be picked up just through dumb luck, practice by ones self, or through the act of reading about them in books that may become available at different parts of the campaign. It should be noted, advanced abilities are very important to your character’s overall growth and the more your character can do in the way of advanced abilities, the better their chance of surviving what is now a world full of chaos.

 TEACHING ADVANCED ABILITIES
For those characters that wish to impart their abilities on other players characters or even on NPCs, teaching is the way to go. Teaching will need to take place in RP and upon the conclusion of the training by a knowledgeable character, the character being taught will acquire the advanced ability and be able to begin growing in skill at it. After the basics of the advanced abilities have been taught training can still take place, which will award ability points in the skill at an advanced rate, which will be set on a case by case basis by the DM.

ABILITY POINTS & LEVELS EXPLAINED
The major difference between basic and advanced abilities is the way progression of them is treated and maintained. With basic skills progression is awarded in bonuses to skill checks, where as with advanced abilities you will acquire ability points (AP) every time you use an ability, and when you reach AP requirements that ability will level up and you will unlock more talents through it. AP and level totals vary based on abilities, with AP being awarded by the DM whenever the ability is used, at times greater AP bonuses may be awarded based on creativity in the use of the ability. |
