High-level class ability

High-level class abilities, or High Level Abilities (HLAs), include passive always-on abilities, such as Use Any Item, Extra X Level Spell, abilities which are added as Innate, such as Hardiness and Assassination, and abilities which are added to the mage spell book or priest scroll, such as Dragon's Breath (spell), Comet, and Summon Planetar.

While some high level abilities are required before selecting others, such as Deathblow being required to select Greater Deathblow, other high level abilities block the selection of others.
