It can also be used as a resource during Character Creation for players who prefer choosing from a list over inventing their own. I include Areas of Specialization and Areas of Further Specialization for GMs who require a narrower focus on certain skills. Mixing and matching broad and narrow skills can sometimes be a good way to emphasize a desired style of play or offer a kind of game balance. In general, the only kinds of skills I omit from the list are those that are so narrowly focused that they have no place outside of a specific game world.
