This skill category enables you to become specialised in the use of a specific type of weapon or armour, but you can only specialise in the use of a weapon or armour type you have the appropriate skill to use. This means you can inflict an extra point of physical damage with the weapon, or gain either the benefit of an extra point of PAC from the armour or reduce the dexterity penalty of armour by one point.
Weapon Specialisation +1 Damage with Weapon
Armour Specialisation +1 PAC to Armour worn
Armour Specialisation Reduce Dex Penalty by one
The bonus gained from this skill is cumulative with any other bonuses from the skill categories, mastery, strength or dexterity, or from potions, spells or magical items. It is possible to become specialised in more than one weapon or type of armour, however in order to do this you must purchase the skill each time. Only one form of Armour Specialisation may be learnt at each level of Specialisation, although you can learn different versions for different ranks of Specialisation.
