Oskills are capped at +3 when used by their native class - otherwise they grant the full amount.

Note that many items have also gained new or improved chance-to-cast effects. For example, [[Pus Spitter]] casts [[Lower Resist]] on striking, [[Stormspire]] casts [[Static Field]] on striking, [[Head Hunter's Glory]] casts [[Amplify Damage]] on attack, and [[Demon Machine]] casts [[Multiple Shot]] on striking.

= Skill Overview =
The info here is based on the changelogs for each skill, which may include more details. The [https://betweenwalls.github.io/portal/?v=PD2 ''Portal'' Skill Planner] may also be useful for comparing vanilla & PD2 skills.

In addition to the skill changes listed here, all characters also gain access to the "'''Move Only'''" skill, which simply makes them walk/run toward a location without attacking.

Summon AI has been improved across the board, and the delay before summoned minions perform actions has been reduced.

== Assassin ==
=== [[Martial Arts]] ===
Charge-up skills reworked
* Instead of charges being generated one-at-a-time per charge-up attack and the effects only applying when consumed by a finishing move or normal attack:
* Charge-up attacks immediately apply the attacks' effect of the appropriate stage (1-3) and generate charges until the character has that many charges of the attacks' type. Charges are "shared" between charge-up attacks so the first attack will apply a stage 1 effect and generate 1 charge, the second attack will apply a stage 2 effect and generate 1-2 charges, and the third attack will apply a stage 3 effect before the charges are reset and the cycle repeats.
* Since charges are reset after the 3rd attack rather than before the first attack of the next cycle, it's impossible to have 3 charges of any single type; to get 3 charges, they must be of different types. A finishing move can be used at any point to consume the charges as usual.
