[IDEAS] Ability Ideas

[deep6ixed]

Okay after giving an overview of my Ability ideas in a previous post so I'd figure that I'd put a few down to paper.

Passive Abilities: (Ones that have no direct effect on a player, but are triggered by objects or cause specific conditions to trigger, such as alternate quests, game objects, ETC...)

Arcana: Allows the player to have a basic understanding of Magical Origins.  Would allow a player to activate magical items

Religion: Allows the player an understanding of religious items and objects.  Works similar to Arcana.

Perception: Would allow the player to detect alternate ways to unlock doors, find hidden items.

Active Abilities: (Ones that would give a bonus or new spell to a player)

Diplomacy: +5% Rep gain

Commerce: Get Exalted prices from every vendor, no matter what your rep is.  Does not allow you to buy exalted items unless your actually exalted.

Quicksilver: +10% speed while mounted.



Ideas for any others?

Racials wouldn't be handled by this system, but I am interested in the idea of perks...

Ever play the fallout series?  Every few levels you could take a perk which would give you a slight advantage in a specific area.  That's kind of what I'm looking at here, but yet give it an RP feel to it.  Like an example:  I make a character who used to be a merchant, I could take both the Diplomacy and Commerce Ability would would give me an advantage when it came to making money.  

A character who was more battle oriented would take combat abilities.

The passive abilities are there to allow alternate methods of completing quests, or running instances.  For example, if a player has the religion passive ability, and they found a strange altar in a instance, they would be able to activate to either gain a buff or learn something, maybe summon a special boss...
