The idea was to have 20 very distinct types of tactics a player can choose between. There are some similarities between a few of them, but really the goal is to offer several very different options for a player in a given scenario. Need to steal something that's being guarded? You could kill the person guarding it, charm them into liking you, go invisible and sneak past them, teleport in and out before they can react, or throw up vines to slow them down so you can run past.
They still need balancing, but here they are:
Row #1: General
Abilities that are non-magical.
Search
Search the ground for hidden items. After using, invisible items will suddenly appear.
Attack
Use your wielded weapon - sword or ranged weapon, or fists if unarmed.
Lock Pick
Pick the lock of a chest. (Unlocked chests can be opened with single left click. Locked chests must either be hit many times with a weapon or be lock picked.)
Repair
Repairs a broken item. Does not bring once living things back to life.
Charm
Attempts to convince a target creature to be friendly to you, if only temporary. Also improves your overall reputation with the target creature's allegiance.
Row #2: Arcane Spells (Wizard)
Abilities that come from the power within the person.
Light
Temporarily increases the vision range of the player.
Teleport
Instantly jump to somewhere else that you have vision on.
Fireball
Send a flaming projectile in a given direction. It explodes upon impact and causes damage to anything nearby.
Directed Energy
Send an energy beam in a given direction. Beam energy passes through creatures to continue damaging those behind.
Invisibility
Temporarily causes the player to be invisible - enemy creatures won't be able to see and attack the player.
Row #3: Divine Spells (Cleric)
Abilities that came from the power of a deity.
Heal
Heal yourself or a target character.
