→Skill System
One of the larger changes from mercs in Diablo II is the ability to assign abilities to the followers, instead of picking a vague type from a list. Gone are the days of useless [[Flux]] mercs from Act III!
Upon reaching [[level]] five, the player can choose one of three [[spells]] or [[skills]] for the follower. Each subsequent five levels, up to level twenty-five, will award an additional choice for the player. Each different type of follower will offer a customizable skillset to either boost the player's effectiveness in a certain area, or cover a weakness in another. The interface for the Templar's skill selection can be seen below.
Once the skills or spells are assigned, that is the end of it, unless the players choose to [[respec]] them, which will be small in cost. There are no extra ranks of abilities for followers, nor do they benefit from [[trait]]s of their own.
Follower abilities may not be affected by [[rune]]s.
