Editing Cortex Fantasy Hack (section)

=Specialties and Signature Assets=
'''Specialties''' represent unique focus or training in a narrow aspect of a given skill that grants an extra die to that specific skill in the right situation. For example, specializing in ''Dagger'' under '''Combat, Melee''' would grant a bonus die any time the character chose to fight using a dagger. 

Unless they had a similar specialty under '''Combat, Ranged''', however, the ''Dagger'' specialty for '''Melee''' would not apply to a thrown dagger.

The Specialty die is always a [[file:d6a.png|24px|d6]]

A character can only have specialties in skills ranked [[file:d6a.png|24px|d6]] or higher.

'''Signature Assets''' are iconic things or concepts associated with a character, such as weapons, armor, a familiar, a unique bit of background that frequently benefits the character, etc. By way of example, King Arthur might have had the Signature Assets ''Excalibur'' and ''Raised by a Ruddy Mystic''

==Specialty/Asset Point Allotment==
Each character has '''5''' points to divide among Specialties and Signature Assets. These points spend as follows:
* Buy a single Specialty [[file:d6a.png|24px|d6]]
* Buy a single Signature Asset [[file:d6a.png|24px|d6]]
* Upgrade an existing Signature Asset to [[file:d8a.png|24px|d8]] (max)

'''Note''': if your '''Lore''' skill is ranked above [[file:d4a.png|24px|d4]] you get one or more free specialties under that skill.

[[file:d6a.png|24px|d6]] = 1 free Lore specialty

[[file:d8a.png|24px|d8]] = 2 free Lore specialties

[[file:d10a.png|24px|d10]] = 3 free Lore specialties

[[file:d12a.png|24px|d12]] = 4 free Lore specialties
