Specialities

Some characters are especially good at particular applications of their Traits. For example, a painter might be particularly good at portraits, a baseball player might be adept at catching fly balls, and a brawler might be infamous for his low blows. To represent this, Characters with scores of 4 or higher in Attributes or Abilities may choose specialities for these Traits.

A Speciality is a particular subcategory of an Attribute or Ability - thus a Character with Strength 5 might choose to be especially adept in "Dead-Lifting", while a Character with Investigation 4 might be a whizz at "Ballistics". Whenever a Player makes a die roll involving an activity in which their Character has specialised, they may (though don't have to) take any die that comes up "10", tally the successes normally, then reroll that die in an attempt to accumulate extra successes. If the rerolled die also comes up "10", they may continue to reroll for still further successes. This process can continue until no further "10s" are rolled.

Each trait has its own page, and contains some sample specialities. If you have an idea for a speciality that isn't listed, please feel free to talk it over with the Storyteller.
