That is fantastic. I figured that's the way it would work (that's what I did in my ongoing Modern Horror game). What sort of penalties would you suggest? Just borrow straight from Area Knowledge?

Also, would you consider valid specialties for Occultism to be on lines similar to Hidden Lore? Or broader/smaller?
