Specialties

• General house rules for specialties

Here are some specific examples of specialties that are narrow enough to be approved (i.e. would not apply to virtually all rolls involving that stat).

• Rejected entries can be appealed if you think it's narrower than what staff envisioned.

Click on respective stat name for full list of specialties.

• Any player may copy approved/rejected/unreviewed entries from this page to the respective sub-page.
• Players may add descriptions of how they think an entry should be interpreted, but should label them as unofficial (and then ask staff to review and approve).
