Skill Specialization

Further character customization to help specialize and prevent some of the contraction of DC ranges caused by the removal of half-level.

Specialization Points
Characters may use Specialization Points to increase their skills. By placing a specialization point into a skill, they gain a miscellaneous bonus equal to the number of specialization points invested.

Gaining Points
Characters gain a Specialization Point every second level, starting at level 2. By level 30, they will have 15 points total.

Specialization Cap
Characters cannot have more Specialization Points in a single skill if that skill already has more than one-third of their total number of Specialization Points. For example:

Language Alternative
Characters may forgo gaining a new Specialization point to instead learn a new language that their character had access to during the preceding level. Points foregone in such a way do not count towards the specialization cap. This option may only be used twice, up to a maximum of two additional languages learned. Beyond that, characters must rely on the Linguist feat.

Justification
Further character customization to help specialize and prevent some of the contraction of DC ranges caused by the removal of half-level.
