===Class Features===

All of the following are class features of the specialist.

'''Weapon and Armor Proficiency:''' The specialist is proficient in the use of all [[SRD:Simple Weapon Proficiency|simple weapons]] and with [[SRD:Armor Proficiency (Light)|light armor]] but not shields.

'''{{Anchor|Specialist Focus}}:''' At 1st level, a specialist gains [[SRD:Skill Focus|Skill Focus]] for a skill of her choice. The specialist can use a  [[SRD:Skill Focus|Skill Focus]] skill to earn money as if she were using a [[SRD:Profession Skill|Profession]] skill. If [[SRD:Profession Skill|Profession]] is chosen, she gains double her income for the check. 

A specialist gains an additional +2 bonus on any skill she has [[SRD:Skill Focus|Skill Focus]] in. [[SRD:Skill Focus|Skill Focus]] skills are always class skills for her for all her levels.

Additionally, a specialist gets free max ranks in a single chosen skill she has [[SRD:Skill Focus|Skill Focus]] in. Any spent ranks are refunded and may be reassigned to other skills.

'''{{Anchor|Reliable Skill}} {{Ex}}:''' At 2nd level, a specialist may "take 10" on any skill she has [[SRD:Skill Focus|Skill Focus]] in, regardless of threats or risk of failure.

'''{{Anchor|Practiced Skill}} {{Ex}}:''' At 4th level, a specialist may roll 2 d20s, taking the better result of the two for a skill check she has [[SRD:Skill Focus|Skill Focus]] in.

'''{{Anchor|Constant Skill}} {{Ex}}:''' At 6th level, even if her key ability for a skill is damaged or penalized, her skill modifier doesn't suffer. Penalties that apply to the skill apply as normal.

'''{{Anchor|Iterative Skill Action}} {{Ex}}:''' At 8th level, a specialist can make a skill check that would normally take a [[SRD:Standard Actions|standard action]] as an attack action instead, as if "full-attacking". Iterative skill checks suffer a –5 penalty just like iterative attacks. Skill checks made in this way may be freely swapped around with attacks when full-attacking.

'''{{Anchor|Reliable Practiced Skill}} {{Ex}}:''' At 10th level, instead of rolling 2 d20s, a specialist may "take 10" for one automatically and still roll the other, taking the better result for her check.

'''{{Anchor|Efficient Skill}} {{Ex}}:''' At 12th level, a specialist reduces the time it takes to perform her [[SRD:Skill Focus|Skill Focus]] skills by half for actions that take longer than a round. If the check can be made with a [[SRD:Standard Action|standard action]], she may now make it with a [[SRD:Move Actions|move action]] at her choice.

At 16th level, her reduction in time goes to a quarter. At 20th level, her reduction goes to an eighth.

'''{{Anchor|Immediate Check}} {{Ex}}:''' At 14th level, a specialist may make a skill that would normally be made with a standard action or less as an immediate action but at a –10 penalty.

'''{{Anchor|Skillful Aid}} {{Ex}}:''' At 18th level, whenever a specialist aids another or is aided on one of her [[SRD:Skill Focus|Skill Focus]] skills, she may copy the highest die result from any rolled in the set for use as the main roll instead of whatever was rolled.

'''{{Anchor|The Best}} {{Ex}}:''' At 20th level, a specialist is the best. Any skill she has [[SRD:Skill Focus|Skill Focus]] with is automatically considered to have a 20 rolled without rolling. Roll anyways, and any 20s that come up count as gaining a +10 bonus to the check instead.
