 Note, whilst a Skill defaults to a given type, it does not necessarily ''always'' qualify as it. For example, a character wishes to explain smithing to another character. They could talk about it from knowledge, experience or their general skill in the profession - whilst the first two would swap the usual bonus from Attributes for Intelligence or Wisdom, regardless of how they intended to explain it, the DM may judge this is ''not'' a Physical Skill when used as such and qualifies as a Mental or Social skill for the situation, changing what additional modifiers the character might receive.

 ===Specialties===
 Most skills can be, effectively, broken into Specialties. Specialties consist of narrower areas of expertise that still, fundamentally use the same skill. For instance, a character skilled in Smithing might be better at making swords than horseshoes, though they could do either in a pinch. This would manifest as them having a Proficiency in Smithing and a Specialty in Weaponsmithing.
-A character can only take each Specialty once and only one Specialty can be applied to a given roll, but can take many Specialties for the same Skill.

−	NOTE: Probably we're going to have a Skill and Specialties. Every skill point increases the Skill by 1, every Specialty increases rolls with that specialty by 2. So, like, 13 Metalwork (Or Smithing?) with 2 points spent on Weaponsmithing will give the character 17 for making Weapons.

	Skill Proficiencies refer to a character's general ability to do things, to know things, to think about things, to observe things. Basically, Skills are the method with which the character can meaningfully interact with the world beyond attacking it, casting spells at it or moving around in it. Skills determine a character's capacity for succeeding and failing at all manner of things.
