There were skill trees in Diablo III during the first few years of development; they were seen in the playable demos at Blizzcon 2008 and 2009. During 2010 though, the [[D3 Team]] reworked the skill interface. They removed all [[passive skills]] turning them into [[traits]] which were moved to a list in their own display window. Active skills were all that remained in the skill tree, which also became a list.
In that menu the full listing of all class skills can be seen, and new skills can be learned by placing points into the available options.
===Traits===

[[Traits]] are displayed in the same window, by clicking the Traits tab.
There were around 30 traits for each of the classes as of Blizzcon, though the developers said this number would probably be reduced a bit as the bewildering array of options was streamlined and combined.
Traits can take 1, 3, or 5 points, with the values different for each trait, and all preset. As of Blizzcon 2010 traits were displayed by a star, making them look a bit like a movie review or a user provided website rating. The design will probably change by the final game.
