Vargr Melee(Bite)

[ShawnDriscoll]

According to the Alien Module 2: Vargr book, all Vargr characters get Melee(Bite) 0. That specialty skill can go up as the character is created, right? They're not stuck at 0 all the time. Because I see Melee(Any) in the career charts, and wasn't sure if Bite was one of the Any?

I've allowed an improvable Bite melee skill since the first supplement for Vargr came out decades ago. It works well, IMO, and I also allow a crit (er..special success) to disable a location temporarily until the bite victim makes an Endurance roll. A Bite attack may not have any armor penetration but it can be a nasty surprise.

It like any skill can be improved. Yes, Melee (Bite) can be improved any time the character rolls Melee (Any). OR, they can take a different Specialty.
