Paradox/Abilities

Companions in Paradox unlock new skills and abilities as they level up Jobs and Races. Skills are used in combat but only if the character has that skill type enabled through means like Jobs, Races, Accessories, Unique Traits and Abilities. For example, If Lime learns White Magic as a Priest and then switches to a merchant, she keeps the skills she learned but can't use them again unless she switches to a job that can use White Magic like Priest or a race like Heal Slime or equips the Scroll of White Magic.

Abilities are passive and once they've been learned, you can use them as any Job or Race. However, you can only equip a certain amount of abilities and that amount is determined by your Job. Abilities are categorized into Attack, Job, Magic, Defense, and Special so a combat-oriented job will let you equip more combat abilities and less magic abilities. They can be equipped from the menu and you'll have to reequip them every time you change a character's job or race. The same skill or ability may be learned from multiple jobs and races but you only get one copy.

Additionally, you cannot equip abilities with the same effects but different values. Example, if you have Attack +10% and Attack +20% you can only equip one of them but if you have Attack +20% and Attack +50% at Critical Health, then they're different and you can equip both.

Take special note of skills with "+" because they gain all the modifiers currently active on your normal attacks.

If you're looking for skills and abilities relating to Basic Jobs, Intermediate Jobs, Advanced Jobs, Basic Races, Intermediate Races, or Advanced Races, check those pages in particular. Otherwise ...
