This too must match your character. If there is no other AT that matches, you can RP a reason why your character would be that AT. You may only use one AT at a time, but you do get all of the stats that are given from those AT's permanently.

Each ability works only once until it's effects wear off, unless it is otherwise noted. Normally with the term "Stackable" next to it. (OPB) denotes that the effect is "Once Per Battle" meaning it can only occur once in an entire fight.
