Skill Trees

How skills are organized. Main skill trees are the weapon and magic specializations a recruited unit can pick as its main tree. Sub skill trees are the secondary sub-class trees offered alongside a main tree. Unreleased / empty trees exist in the game data but contain no skills yet. A recruit's background decides which trees it can access (see which backgrounds give which trees below). Looking for one specific skill? The All Skills list has every skill in one sortable, filterable table.
