Each character in the game is associated with a group of Abilities that can be activated to execute a powerful move and to gain various effects, buffs, and other bonuses while the ability is active. Abilities are exclusive to each Character and can be unlocked by spending Feat Points in determinate Feats, for example Battlehammer Brew, Whirlwind, etc.
