Special Training

Special Training
This is a broadly defined Action that encompasses nearly any sort of advanced professional training, from black ops techniques to private investigation to thieving, and more.

Rename your Special Training Action appropriately and select one specialty per point of AN. Exactly how this action is used depends on the situation, and it may or may not combine with a relevant Ability, Action, or Modifier: a government spy with "Black Ops" might combine this Action with stones from Social Skills while interrogating a suspect; a mutant police officer with "Law Enforcement" might apply his Animal Senses modifier while staking out a suspect's house; a cat burglar with "Thieving" might combine stones with his Agility when trying to crack a safe. In almost all situations involving Difficulty & Resistance, compare only your Special Training AN against the Difficulty.

Note that specialties usually work both ways: a private investigator who specializes in punishing identity theft also knows how to commit it.

Some specialties have one or more synonyms - each is essentially the same, so you are free to choose one which best suits your style of Specialized Training. You may even come up with some that aren't on this list.
