Specialties, like the name suggests, are what your character specializes in. You choose a primary specialty at level 1, and a secondary specialty at level 10.
Specialties each have certain skills associated with them. Specialties give the users bonuses to purchasing and using the skills associated with their particular specialty.
Bonuses to dice rolls: All rolls involving the character's main specialty (combat or non-combat) will recieve a +2. All rolls involving the characters secondary specialty will recieve a +1.
Discounts on EXP cost for Skills: Characters will recieve a 25% discount on skills of their specialty. Example:
A skill costs 1000 EXP. The skill is under Bob's specialty. Bob will pay 750 instead of 1000.
All skills outside of specialties (main or secondary) will be full price.
Discounts on Restrictions: Some skills have restrictions (41 Preception, 31 Strength, etc). Characters will have a 10 point discount on these restrictions. Example:
A skill has a restriction of 41. Bob has that skill's specialty. It costs 31 for him.
