Skills are an essential game play mechanic obtained through collecting Experience and give the player buffs or allow them to perform special combat abilities. These Skills are either active or passive and belong to one of three Skill Trees. Once enough Experience is gathered (represented by the purple bar in the UI), the player will level up and earn one Skill Point. Skill Points can then be allocated to certain Skills. Skill Points cannot be reset, but there is no leveling cap, which lets the player in theory collect an endless amount of points.
The Skills menu can be accessed by clicking the blue "+" sign on the right side of the screen or by pressing "K" (by default).
Skill Trees
There are three Skill Trees available in Feel The Snow: Swordsman, Archer, and Mage. These each include 3 active and 2 passive Skills. Progression through the trees is linear and requires 5 Skill Points to be spent on a certain Skill before the next one can be unlocked. Currently, it takes 15 Skill Points to max out one tree, not including the 2 passive Skills. The player does not have to follow one tree exclusively and can spend points on all three trees if they so choose.
