Further specialty acquisition during play follows the book's rule: 10xp and successful instruction from someone who already has the specialty. It hasn't seemed unbalancing. We're about 30 sessions in and I think one PC has six specialties. The rest have between five and their starting three.

Teg, do you give them a starting point system for attributes as well? Or just follow the standard lifepath method for attribute points?

I've found that the 2-6 attribute point range on lifepath character creation is a bit too variable for my liking - one character might only roll up a 2xC and 2xB character, while another rolls up a 3xA and 1xC character. I'd be interested to know how folks are handling attributes in case someone has found a better method that works for them.
