Role actions

Role Actions are automatically unlocked at specific levels based on the role you are playing. These are essential off-global cooldown abilities for each role. They replaced Cross-class Skills in patch 4.0 with the release of Stormblood.

As of Shadowbringers and patch 5.0, the set of role actions is fixed. They become available upon reaching a certain level corresponding to the role of their current Disciple of War or Disciple of Magic. Unlike class- and job-specific actions, these are still available after learning them, even when level synced below the level they are unlocked.

There are also PvP-specific role actions, which are only available in Frontline, Rival Wings, and the Wolves' Den Pier lobby.
