General Skills
The General tree holds skills that support any playstyle: armor bonuses, Vitality, Toxicity, bombs and Adrenaline. Remastered rebuilt the trees with three ranks per skill. Every General rank also adds +1% Vitality. Values below are for rank 1.
School Techniques
The School Techniques sit at the center of the tree and are open from the start. Each one rewards a single armor weight, and its bonus counts per armor piece worn. Cat School Techniques wants light armor and Bear School Techniques wants heavy armor. Wolf, Griffin, Manticore and Viper School Techniques all want medium armor. Any other General skill opens once a skill connected to it is unlocked.
