These can be increased [[ability scores]], new [[Passive feature|passives]], permanently applied [[conditions]], or even new or improved [[actions]].

Some subsets of | Some bonuses are applied to subsets of creatures within a race. This can include named NPC's, as long as the group they belong to can be easily generalized. For example, githyanki NPC's who wield a crossbow - generically called a "Githyanki Raider" even if their name is Hi'So'Ka or Ki'Lua - in [[Act One]] can expect to get the same Tactician bonuses.
