Ok, here's an example of what I mean.


[hider=Skill Tree]
Generic Joe the Mind Warper

Mind Wreck- Confuse your opponents by severely disorientating them.

Troubled Mind- Strike fear into your target and cause them to fall into a screaming panic.
[/hider]

Generic Joe will only be able to use the powers unlocked within his own skill tree and no other variant of it. The player will only be able to unlock more skills as the player's character grows.


[hider=Up to the Player]
Generic Jane is a master teleporter. Able to travel up to 10 feet in rapid blinks, and take with her objects only half her size.
[/hider]

Generic Jane will be given a range of how powerful she is, and how she uses her power is up to the player. The player gains more options as the player's character grows.

So which is it exactly?
