Larian Studios Forums Divinity: Original Sin 2 Divinity - Original Sin 2 - Suggestions and Feedback Complete overhaul of attributes and abilities.

See, the beauty of this system is that I need only design 3 skills for each tree(the ones you pick from when you start), and the rest of them practically designs itself, since it's just a mixture of <skill 1> with <trait B>, with an occasional upgrade to account for higher mastery.

But just to entertain your original query:

Aerothurge:
Blinding Radiance - Charisma + Elementalism(it's an AoE Debuff)
Electric Discharge - Elementalism(it's a spell that can electrify puddles and clouds)
Favourable Wind - Tactics + Charisma(it's an aura that boosts mobility)
Shocking Touch - Elementalism + Shapeshifting(it's a spell that'll electrify surfaces/clouds the target is standing in, and transforms your touch into electricity)
Teleportation - Tactics + Summoning(it's a spell that moves another entity)

Geomancer:
Fortify - Rejuvenation(it restores and boosts armor)
Fossil Strike - Elementalism(it's a spell that creates a surface)
Magical Poison Dart - Cruelty + Elementalism(it's a poison dart that interacts with surfaces)
Contamination - Elementalism + Cruelty(it's a spell that turns relevant surfaces to poison)
Impalement - Elementalism + Charisma(it's a spell that creates surfaces and impairs enemies in a large area)
Acid Spores - Elementalism + Cruelty(it's a poison spell that creates surfaces)

Huntsman:
First Aid - Rejuvenation(it restores health and removes impairments)
Mark - Tactics(it marks an enemy and denies them positioning benefits)
Marksman's Fang/Ricochet/Arrow Spray - Marksmanship(they are all special bow attacks)
Snipe - Marksmanship + Assassination(It's a special bow attack that benefits from stealth)
Tactical Retreat - Tactics(it's a purely positioning move)

Hydrosophist:
Armour of Frost - Rejuvenation(it restores and boosts magic armor)
Global Cooling/Hail Strike/Rain/Winterblast - Elementalism(all create surfaces in an area)
Healing Ritual/Restoration - Rejuvenation(both restore Vitality)
Steam Lance - Elementalism + Rejuvenation(it's an area attack spell that heals allies)

Necromancer:
Blood Sucker - Vampirism(it's an ability that interacts with Blood pools)
Decaying Touch - Cruelty + Rejuvenation(it's an ability that turns Regeneration effects into DoT effects)
Infect - Cruelty + Elementalism(it's an ability that turns surfaces to poison)
Mosquito Swarm/Rain of Blood - Vampirism + Cruelty(both abilities cause bleeding, while stealing Vitality/creating a Blood surface)
Shackles of Pain - Cruelty + Tactics(it's an ability that marks an enemy making them receive damage)

Pyrokinetic:
Burn My Eyes - Charisma(it boosts an ally)
Haste - Tactics + Charisma(it boosts an ally's mobility)
Fireball/Ignition/Infectious Flame/Searing Daggers/Spontaneous Combustion - Elementalism + Cruelty(they all cause elemental damage in an area and set Burning to enemies)
Fireblood - Elementalism + Vampirism(it creates fire surfaces and makes bleeding cause further fire surfaces)
Summon Flaming Totem - Summoning + Elementalism(summons a creature that strongly interacts with elemental surfaces)

Scoundrel:
Adrenaline - Tactics + Rejuvenation(it's a self buff restores AP)
Chloroform - Assassination(it's an ability that doesn't break Stealth)
Cloak and Dagger - Tactics + Assassination(it's a movement ability that doesn't break Stealth)
Levitate/Vault - Tactics(both are abilities that help with positioning)
Mortal Blow - Assassination + Warfare(it's a Melee strike best used from Stealth)
Sawtooth Knife - Cruelty + Warfare(it causes Bleeding via a Melee strike)
Throwing Knife - Tactics(it's an attack that benefits from positioning, but otherwise isn't strictly beholden to any other category)
Walk in Shadows - Assassination(it sets Invisibility on the user)

Warfare:
Battering Ram - Tactics(it's a combat ability that primarily moves the user)
Battle Stomp - Warfare + Elementalism(it uses a melee weapon to clear surfaces)
Blitz Attack/Crippling Blow/Overpower - Warfare(they are all special melee weapon attacks)
Phoenix Dive - Elementalism + Tactics(it's a mobility skill that creates elemental surfaces)
Rage - Charisma + Tactics(it's a buff that boosts combat power and mobility)

Since it's pretty late as I post this and it's already a long post as it is, I'll leave my ideas as to what the proper suggested abilities for the new system would be for another time.



No, you keep them all. If you want to just fill your bar with 5-6 versions of "throw a sharp object" that's an option too. Great for immersive role-playing.
