For instance, a person with "Beast Riding" would know how to tame and break a wild animal to allow it to be ridden, to ride the animal and attempt stunt riding tricks, use melee or ranged weapons while mounted, and calm or control it if it became spooked or aggressive.Specializations are narrow focus. They could be a sub-set of a skill's focus like a mechanic who specializes in just repairing internal-combustion-engine vehicles or a character with Heavy Energy Weapons who specializes in using Plasma Flamers. Or they could be a "facet" (sub-skill) of a Macro skill, like a person with "Science" skill taking a Specialization in Biology, Marine Biology or Cetology. Because they have restrictions, they cost half as much as regular skills during character template design but are the same price afterwards during play.
