Overview
This page is a collection of similar features and abilities offered by each guild and categorized tables for easy comparison. It will hopefully be useful to players searching for specific effects or for new players trying to decide what guild to join.
Keys:
- All signature spells are bolded
- Area of Effect (AOE) - The ability can be used against multiple targets at once.
- Group (G) - Player's entire group gains the benefits of the ability.
- Pulse (P) - Periodically trigger again after use. Usually lasts for a limited type or is a cyclic spell.
- Cyclic Spell (C) - Cyclic spells last indefinitely but require additional mana from Harness, a Cambrinth with Dedicated Cambrinth User feat, or Attunement with Raw Channeling feat. Only one cyclic spell can be active at a time. Bards can Segue from one cyclic spell to another.
- Abilities with a (*) have notes at the bottom of the table with additional information.
TODO:
* Fix typos, column order, etc

Many guilds have multiple ways to deal this damage type. To keep the list readable, I'm using the following Key to show what is and is not possible.
Key:
- A = AOE Option, spells and abilities
- C = Collateral Damage (Single target spell, which deals lesser damage to nearby targets)
- H = Heavy TM option available
- M = Multi-strike option available
- P = Pulses, non-cyclical option available
- R = Reactive damage (Shield - on hit of the target)
- S = Single Target option available
- Z = Charged shot (prep and then fire when you're ready like dragon breath)
- (U) = Non-corporeal/evil/Undead Only (or any subset of the same)
For the modifiers (like armor piercing) assume single target unless modified with A(ie: AM for AOE M for Single Target)
Bolds for signature abilities or spells.
- * Cyclic, transformation, limited, etc...
- ** Technically Barbarians have Whirlwind, but it's not useful for raw damage vs training.
- **** Requires the empath to shock themselves - Shock dramatically changes playstyle and limits several abilities.
Attack Effectiveness
- Barbarian Combat Maneuver - Damage: Increases damage from the Barbarian only
- Divine Radiance: Only applies to hits from blessed weapons
- Khri Prowess: -OF is PvE only
