Skill Specialization (Skill)

The hero can specialize in certain applications of skills. Many skill descriptions mention applications, but not necessarily all that are available for that skill. Ask the GM about others that may exist.
Rules: A hero receives a skill rating bonus of 2 when making a check using the application. Heroes can specialize in a maximum of three applications per skill. This application’s bonus can raise the skill’s SR above the normal maximum (as determined by Experience Level during hero creation—see page 39).
Prerequisites: Skill rating 6 (first Specialization), skill rating 12 (second Specialization), Skill Rating 18 (third Specialization)
AP Value: A/B/C/D skill: 1/2/3/4 adventure points for the first Specialization, 2/4/6/8 adventure points for the second Specialization, 3/6/9/12 adventure points for the third Specialization.
Example: A hero wants to specialize in Magical Lore. The player chooses the application of Spells. Whenever making a check using Magical Lore (Spells), raise the hero’s SR by 2.
