	species abilities.

Abilities are skills Neopets may use in the Battledome in addition to whatever equipment they have. Certain abilities are available for all Neopets, and each species has three exclusive abilities that are acquired at certain levels. Most abilities are Faerie abilities, and bestowed on a Neopet when they are blessed for releasing a bottled faerie.

Stances

These abilities are available to all species of Neopet. All but Berserk Attack are available from level one. These act as multipliers applied to the damage given and received in a turn. They generate damage or defence icons as well, but these are not taken into account when calculating damage.

• Defend - damage multiplier of 0.8;
• Cautious Attack - damage multiplier of 1;
• Normal Attack - damage multiplier of 1.2;
• Jump and Attack - damage multiplier of 1.3;
• Fierce Attack - damage multiplier of 1.4;
• Berserk Attack - damage multiplier of 1.5, obtained at level 50;

Damage multipliers for both parties are taken into account when calculating damage - for example, if both parties use fierce attack, each party is dealt 1.4 * 1.4 = 1.96 the damage they would have received if both parties had used cautious attack (1 * 1 = 1).

Faerie abilities

Faerie abilities are obtained from bottled faeries. A Neopet may be equipped with six different abilities at any one time, but may learn many more. They are activated (equipped) from a page accessible via the quick ref. Each different type of Faerie awards an ability from a different ability tree. To obtain a later ability from a faerie, all previous abilities must have already been obtained. Certain Neggs can also award some of these abilities.
