Cost	20 rupees

Specialty is a utility trait. This treasure is a universal racial perk. As such, any character can choose to gain it as a perk upon character creation. Unlike other universal perks, it can also be gained as a normal treasure.

With this trait, the user gains a heightened knowledge and aptitude for a chosen field, but at the cost of bumbling a bit in other areas. When gaining a treasure in their chosen field, the treasure's cost is reduced by one cost level (Highest to Higher; Normal to Low; etc.), but cannot reduce it below Lowest. When gaining a treasure not of their chosen field, the cost is increased by 5 rupees. A treasure with a set cost is either increased or decreased by 5 rupees, as appropriate. No treasure can have its cost reduced below 5 rupees.

Several treasures are not affected by Specialty. These include Profession, Crafting, Major Gain, Permanent Increase, Adventure Pouch, any Race License, any form of Companion, and Specialty itself.

As the user's Specialized field, several cannot be selected. These fields include Projectile, Seed, Supply, Rupee, PWC, and PerQuest.

A user can never have more than one Specialty. If the user ever gains the Dark Affinity or Mask Collector treasure, it replaces any Specialty the user may have had, and prevents them from gaining one otherwise.
