In Dungeons & Dragons, every character has their own set of abilities and skills. They can use these abilities in combat to have the upper hand on the enemy and defeat them. Every character has different abilities, and these are suited to them only. This Dungeons & Dragons: Dark Alliance guide will include all the details on abilities in the game.
Abilities in Dungeons & Dragons: Dark Alliance
All the abilities are not available from the start of the game. You will have to level up your characters, so they reach levels where they unlock abilities. Not only do you have to level them up, but after unlocking, if you want the ability, you will have to purchase it. You can purchase the ability using feat points. At the start of the game, all of your characters will only have 2 abilities to work with. This will be the case for almost half of the game, after which you will have to progress further into the game to unlock the abilities.
After completing the level requirement and buying them, you can select them from the character menu. At the start of each mission, you will have the time to choose the abilities you want to start with. This means that you can not change abilities during the mission.
