So While I enjoy this system a lot I'm not too thrilled with the way specialties are handled. Personally I think they should be something you're rewarded for taking, not penalized for not having. So with that in mind I propose the following change, You do not get a specialization when you first get a skill, they are purchased for 15 xp+ 5 for each one you already have. If you have an appropriate specialty the number of successes from your skill die is doubled. Obviously the combat skills will need to spread their specializations out a bit since "small arms" pretty much covers 98% of what a character with the firearms skill will ever use but those could be adjusted later..
Thoughts? Changes? How dare I suggest a rule change?

Hahaha, yes indeed, "how dare you!"
It's not a bad idea. I do prefer to reward rather than penalise.
What would you propose the skill specialities do? Personally, I'm somewhat averse to people using them to get lots of little bonuses and stacking their stats too far in a certain direction... but there can be other ways to work it, certainly.

Well I suggested the double the successes thing, it doesn't increase the odds of succeeding but makes it more potent when you do. Otherwise... I'm not 100% sure, it needs to be worth taking but not OP. +3 to resist bungles maybe? If you're an expert it's much harder to make those horrible mistakes after all?

Or you could be immune to Bungles... possibly... it's worth thinking on anyway.  |

I wasn't sure if you wanted them removed completely by anything, they do lead to hilarity after all  . |

Haha! True that. A Bungle is a great opportunity for real "fun and games!"

Naw..... I like seeing Von P's Character sweat when she runs from the living. Hiding in areas where infected are resting and trusting vili--er-- adventures that offer to take you for free. "NO FREE Lunch, sister!" as you found out.
Bryce misses you more than me I hope!

And she only ran when outnumbered, she thoroughly shamed Bryce in 3 out of three physical confrontations. The first of which may be the first reason why he wants to kill her. |
