Specialties

You can buy ranks in a specialty the same way you do a power, but specialties are more specific and niche than powers. A specialty can be:

• more specific concept within the power's purview
  
• specific conditions or equipment
  
• specific practices
  
• specific subset of special abilities within the power's purview

A specialty cannot consume more than 1/4 of a power's purview, so if it's more broad or general than this, it cannot be a specialty. If you have ranks in a power and a specialty within that power's purview, you add both of your ranks together when doing anything within the purview of that specialty.

Examples

Might (Swords) means that you're particularly good with wielding swords. Might (Weightlifting) meaning you're treated as much stronger only for the purposes of picking up and moving heavy objects and carrying capacity. Death (Spawn) would you to be more proficient with spawning or summoning undead. Death (Soulbinding) allowing you to bind spirits, possess people, and exorcise or banish spirits better.

A rank in a specialty costs 3 XP per rank.

If the power has a minor restriction reduce this to 2 XP per rank.

If the power has a major restriction, reduce this to 1 XP per rank.
