[QUOTE="DeviousQuail, post: 9644112, member: 7025431"] Masteries from Everquest OA Frontiers. You choose a percentage of your xp to go towards class advancement and masteries.

Masteries were more like feats that gave you bonuses to attributes, resistances, mana/stamina, etc. There were also class and race masteries as well as masteries for things like being a were-animal or were-hunter.
