Default Re: Technique family of the week: Focussed

One task Wonder:
a single task, +4 [1]

focused technique
a subcategory of a skill, +4 [4]

specialization:
a subcategory of a skill, +2 [4]*

*compare surgery 12 [16] with surgery (trauma) 14 [20], with default to all other surgeries at -2. bases of under [8] are edge cases: surgery 12 [1] vs surgery (trauma) 14 [4] is a little cheaper, and surgery (trauma) 12 [2] has no real comparison.

A fairly interesting scale, all things told. So how to I distinguish between "focused" and an optional specialty. Some of the above feel like they are on the line...
