The supplied passages describe several connected parts of Dragon Age: The Veilguard’s progression. Rook chooses one of three classes, then spends skill points on connected nodes in a class-specific tree. Each class has three specializations, with only one active at a time; the guides describe named abilities and combat themes for each. The sources also explain class resources, refunds, companion skill trees, and equipment advancement. Duplicate weapons and armor can gain stats and properties, while the Caretaker’s Workshop upgrades equipment and applies limited enchantments. These records present described functions and restrictions, without ranking effectiveness or filling gaps in costs, item effects, and acquisition details.
If you are choosing a class, compare how Rage, Mana, and Momentum are described, including how each resource regenerates. Read warrior-core, mage-core, and rogue-core.
