Each character has a unique skill tree to pick abilities from - Totem clans: Wolf, Cat, Bear... Telle is her own, steampunk techie, etc. The whole thing about the class system is that you make the characters to your liking. Play them how you want and mix and match skills accordingly.
That being said, if you want to max your skills out, you'll have to pick only a couple of them so most of the time you'll have, say 5-10 points in some good abilities for most characters and thus, a lot of versatility. This is especially true for your main character whom you can build just about any way you like. Beware, though, that his points are limited as well and you'd be best served picking only a small handful of useful abilities that can all be executed with the same weapon and focusing on those.
...hope that helps.
