Possessor Class

[Orangatuan]

Is there a quick go to list of creature abilities that don't work?

[JacksonTriggs Fan]

I've never encountered a single one that didn't work...

[Orangatuan]

But surely the healing skills don't work. Or am I missing something?

That's not the creature abilities not working, it's the fact you cannot heal a Possession form except with Cannibalize. If you have a Heal Infusion or a necklace of Healing, those also are prohibited. That doesn't mean that Heal Infusions don't work in the game. If you were to steal those healing abilities with the Possessor skill to steal singular abilities (the locked tree), while in your base form you'd be able to use them just fine, they work just fine.

The other common case, many abilities require certain weapons or lack of weapons to be used. 2H, 2x1H, shield, archery, gunnery, and barehand techniques all exist on monsters. They will be "Creature abilities that don't work" too, despite working just fine, unless you have the right equipment equipped. You can't shield bash without a shield. But if you steal the tech with the possessor skill to steal abilities, while in your base form, and you put on a shield or a steamsaw, voila, you can now shield bash. Ability works.
