Choose from Physical, Arcane, Alchemy, Traps, Social. This is known as your Primary and determines what you can target with Free Effects.
Minor Milestone Expansion: Add [PATH], [Clade], or other modifier through additional named skills through Minor Milestone Campaign Skills.
Standard Milestone Expansion: Add another option from this list by expending 1 Standard Milestone for each additional specialty.
Example: A character purchases the Expert level in Physical Detection. They then spend one additional Standard Milestone to also become an Expert level in Alchemical Detection. Later, after spending another Standard Milestone for a total of 4, the character becomes a Master in the Physical and Alchemical Detection, 3 for the Master level Physical Detection and 1 for the addition of Alchemical Detection. The character is still Primary Physical and may only get free proactive information from that choice as noted under the Free Effects below.
