Frequency / Uses

Each ability will have limited number of uses that can change based on class customization choices.

  • When a player has 0 uses remaining, they can no longer use that ability until it is restored.
  • Abilities can be restored in a variety of ways but can never be restored beyond the maximum number of uses available to the player for that activity.
  • If a player gains new abilities over the course of an activity, these new abilities are treated independently from any existing copies that the player might already possess.
    • For example, a player with Heal 1/Life gains Heal 2/Refresh somehow. Both frequency tracks would exist and the player could use either one to allow them to cast Heal.
    • If the player has the ability to restore either of these abilities, they are restored independently of each other. Rest values are tied to each version and cannot be used to restore the other.
