Specialisations and base skill improvement Options

[Lilt]

When you buy a specialisation to 7 from a skill of 6, it costs 7 karma (depending on the linked attribute). If you then buy the base skill up-to 7 also; by the standard rules the specialisation is effectively lost (remaining at 7).

Do you think you should get something back?

The Specialisation credit is an idea I just had meaning that the player does not lose the karma but also that karma spent on the specialisation stays in the specialisation. When the player loses the rank 7 specialisation; the player keeps a note that the specialisation in question is 7 karma in credit so the player may then reduce the cost of buying a specialisation at 8 by 7 karma (or may buy the base skill to 8, then reduce the cost of buying a rank 9 specialisation by 7 ETC). Different amounts of credit are tracked for different specialisations, you can't transfer credit from one to another. Comments welcome on this system also.
