I guess I was the one who suggested optional specialties in Occultism by creature type. Mostly because I know a woman who basically bought the skill in RL - dual majors in anthropology and world literature, and then a master's thesis analysing the evolution of vampire/undead/blood drinker legends in a number of folklores around the world (as well as modern cinema). She has a solid understanding of vampire myths, but not so much ghosts or demons or fae. As well as the most encylopediac collection of vampire movies I've ever seen.
