These are broken into Abilities and Skills.
Abilities are permanent, and Can not be taken away from a character. You are not limited to the number of abilities your mechwarrior may have.
(Edit, before battle #3) You may not Buy the "Fame" ability after the last battle of the campaign. If you are going to "cash in your chips"...you must do it before the final battle. Yes this will make CP earned in the last battle worthless. But having someone "buy" the championship rather than earning it on the arena floor seems like a hollow win. (end edit)
Skills you can lose over the course of a battle with wounds. When your mechwarrior takes a hit, you must select one Skill to lose until the wound is healed. Your mechwarrior is also limited to a maximum of 4 Skills.

ReplyDeleteAdded the Rule, no Buying Fame after the last battle. You must buy it before the match.
