A characters abilities act as a measure of their capability to undertake specific kinds of tasks. While attributes measure a characters raw potential, a characters abilities represent a much more focused area of knowledge or expertise. A characters abilities let a character apply their potential in the most effective manner possible.

CN has done away with the prioritization of abilities and instead rewards a lump sum of points for players to distribute among their talents, skills and knowledges. Remember, characters may not take abilities beyond level 3 in chargen.
