Hello there fellow helpers!
I was thinking that maybe we could put up an ability list here of the SC2 abilities that we have found information about. This may come in handy planning maps.
(Any moderator may feel free to modify this edit and add abilities directly to this list, I will update it myself to following the incoming posts but a little help is always welcome!)
I will continue on this list later on but this is what you get for the moment.
