'''Special ability''' is a term typically referring to a creature's ability to actively or passively do something other than basic [[melee]] attack in combat. Active special ability means, that the creature has to act in a specific way for the special ability to emerge. For example, [[wyvern]]s [[poisonous]] ability requires them to attack or [[Retaliation|retaliate]]. Passive special ability means, that the creature does not have to anything to use it. For example [[undead]] is an special ability of all [[necropolis]] creatures, which makes them [[Immunity|immune]] to certain spells among other things. A passive ability could be considered a characteristic of a creature. | '''Special ability''' is a term typically referring to a creature's ability to actively or passively do something other than basic [[melee]] attack in combat.
