Character abilities refer to the unique skills and traits that define a character's strengths and weaknesses in a story, game, or role-playing scenario. These abilities can include physical skills, like strength and agility, as well as mental skills, such as intelligence and charisma. They help shape how a character interacts with their environment and other characters, influencing their decisions and actions. In many games, character abilities are categorized into different types, such as combat abilities, magic abilities, or social abilities. Players often choose or develop these abilities to enhance their character's effectiveness in various situations, making them more versatile or specialized in their roles within the narrative or gameplay.
