A comma-separated list of ability tokens, matched without regard to letter case. An object of this type gains every ability named here when it reaches veteran rank. It keeps them after a promotion to elite, where EliteAbilities adds more. The ability table lists the eighteen accepted tokens and what each one does.

An unrecognized token is ignored.

A later rules file that sets the key replaces the earlier list; it does not add to it. Leaving the key out of that file keeps the earlier list, and so does writing it with nothing after the =, because the game ignores an empty assignment. To clear an earlier list, write a value with no recognized token, such as VeteranAbilities=none.
