Abilities

Characters in Jade Empire have 6 ability scores that are divided into two groups: Primary Abilities and Secondary Abilities. Primary abilities set the starting value for secondary abilities, and, during play, you'll have opportunities to improve abilities from either group. See the table below for a complete listing of abilities and some of their in-game effects.
