skill trees
Talent progression paths
A skill tree is a progression system in video games where players unlock abilities by spending earned points along branching paths.
The tree metaphor reflects how basic skills branch into specialized ones: I put all my points into the stealth skill tree.
Players often must choose between branches, creating distinct character builds.
The concept has spread to learning apps and career development frameworks.
