Facilitating Rewards are Rewards that enable players to perform new actions or existing actions better.
The main difference between Facilitating Rewards and Access Rewards is that the former gives new Abilities or action to players while the latter provides the possibility for players to choose to get such Abilities or actions.
While being able to perform better can provide Freedom of Choice and Player Agency regarding what they can do in games, it also works against it when players have not been allowed to choose what to become better at.
