There are seven playable careers, each with three specialization trees:
Each career provides eight career skills. Characters automatically gain ranks in four of these skills without spending XP.
Specializations provide an additional four career skills. Characters automatically gain ranks in two of these skills without spending XP.
Each character starts with a single specialization in his chosen career. However, the player may purchase access to additional specializations.
Purchasing a specialization means basically that the player may buy the ability to purchase talents within that specialization. Also, each specialization has four additional career skills. These skills now count as career skills for the character. Characters may purchase any specialization in any career.
Purchasing an additional specialization within a character’s career costs ten times the total number of specializations he would possess with this new specialization. So, a character with one specialization could purchase a second career specialization for 20 XP. If he wished to purchase a third career specialization, it would cost another 30 XP.
Characters may also purchase additional specializations outside of their careers. Purchasing non-career specializations costs ten times the total number of specializations the character would possess with this new specialization, plus an additional 10 XP. So, a character with one specialization could purchase a second non-career specialization for 30 XP. If the PC has two specializations already, a third specialization that is also a non-career specialization would cost another 40 XP.
