Allow specs to be acquired through facilities

[processq]

Standard specs could be acquired via the training center. Limited to a random pool. Standard specs defined as no magic, psi or exceptional abilities. Pools size and number of new specs limited by variable spec count.

Advanced or specialty specs trained via gts. Limit specs per promotion. Perhaps 1 advanced spec per 3 promotions. Which specs fall into this category would be subjective but some specs are much better than others.

Psi specs via Psilab. Possibly requiring a psi perk that is added randomly the first time a soldier visits the Psilab. Possibly limit number of Psi specs by total will. If possible some specs could be limited by psi perk and existing spec's weapons. For example Nightblade requiring a melee spec and a psi perk.

I have other thoughts on basic vs advanced psi specs and limiting them by rank but that may be prohibitively complex.

Total number of specs still limited by Variable spec count.

Some further thoughts and ramblings on this.

Restrict some specs by a hidden or obfuscated prerequisite perks. If hidden perks are not possible, an obfuscated perk could be used with vague perk names and description indicating something is unusual about the soldier.

• Arcane unlocks magic specs (sorcerer, necromancer, gria)
• Psi-sensitive unlocks any specs described as psi powers
• Biotic specs from biotics mod and related from super soldiers.
• Force Sensitive for Jedi specs
• Special training for most of the specs in super soldiers. Maybe require psi and special training for the n7 specs. Ninja require psi or arcane and special training. This might be a way to balance these specs, making them extremely rare.

The idea being that you know something is special about the soldier but not what specs that leads to until they rank up a little. Maybe even then by rng if a limited spec pool is used. This 'something is special rng' could possibly roll again with a very low chance on traumatic or significant events (gene modding or shaken?). Obviously only some of these would be available on these secondary trauma related rolls. This could lead to specs being tied to gene mods or augments. However, that is probably a separate feature or mod even.

Reconsidering the night blade specs comment in the initial post, they should probably be Arcane with melee while stormrider specs would be psi with melee.

weakened psi specs like the fury and nemesis specs based on Grimmy's class might be trainable as standard specs if a psi perk is present. There may be others that fall into this category.
