# Specialties

When you create a character in V5, you are given several skill specialties that add a single die to appropriate rolls. **Inconnu** doesn't ask for these specialties when making your character, but you can add them afterward.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Adding Specialties**

{% code overflow="wrap" %}

```
/specialties add specialties:<TRAIT1>=<SPEC1>,<SPEC2>,...<SPECN> [TRAIT2]=...
```

{% endcode %}
{% endhint %}

As you can see, you can add multiple specialties at a time. You can treat these specialties as normal skills and attributes; they are automatically worth one die each. You can add them to your rolls just like you add any other skill.

{% hint style="success" %}
**Example:** Nadea has a Medicine specialty called *Cadavers*.

{% code overflow="wrap" %}

```
/specialties add specialties:Medicine=Cadavers
```

{% endcode %}
{% endhint %}

To remove specialties, you use the same syntax:

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Removing Specialties**

{% code overflow="wrap" %}

```
/specialties remove specialties:<TRAIT1>=<SPEC1>,[SPEC2]...
```

{% endcode %}
{% endhint %}

### Listing specialties

You can see your specialties near the bottom of the `/traits list` command:

### Rolling

You can roll with a specialty using "dot-syntax". For example, if you have a Brawl specialty called Kindred, you can access it by `brawl.kindred`.

{% hint style="info" %}
Just like normal traits, you can use shorthand so long as **Inconnu** can tell what specialty and skill combo you're referring to. Instead of `brawl.kindred`, you might write `brawl.kin`, `b.k`, or even `.k`—so long as what you type is unambiguous.
{% endhint %}

When you roll with a specialty, one die is automatically added to the dice pool. In addition, the specialty is written in parenthesis after the skill (e.g. "Brawl (Kindred)").
