The last time I checked, I had a couple of skills on my Hero's that had a padlock image overlayed on top of the skill. What does this mean?

They won't use them, you'll have to trigger it manually. Shift + click the skill to turn it off.

Are you sure, Skuld? It sounds more like the Hero has skills for a game he doesn't have (like Prophocies or Factions). I thought the red circle with slash through it marked skills they are ordered not to use.

Oh, padlock, sorry.

Did you use a buddy key at any point Thirl?

I only have the Nightfall game (I do not own prophecies or factions).

I see the 'padlock' on the following skills

Monk skill: Symbol of Wrath
Ranger skills: Point Blank Shot, Penetrating Attack, Ignite Arrows

I know Dunkoro came with Symbol of Wrath, and I'm pretty sure Jin came with 1 or more of those Ranger skills.

Anyway, looking at the GW gamewkiki site http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Skills_by_Campaign
it seems the guess at not having the campaign is probably right. All 4 of those skills seem to be prophecies campaign skills.

And that's your answer. You could use prophecies skills, because you had prophecies/factions for those 10 hours, but now that you don't you can't use them and nether can your heroes. I suggest unequipping them, they just take up space.

They are not equipped, I was just curious when I first posted why I couldn't use them. Now, I know, thanks all.
