PAGE UNDER CONSTRUCTION
Evolved minifigs and other creatures sometimes develop special abilities, features, or skills that change the rules for a particular minifig or other unit. These are called Specialties.
Compensating
(+1 CP) As long as he doesn't move during his turn, the Heavy has the ability to fir or swing weapons an inch larger than minifigs are normally allowed.
Heavies normally have the ability to carry and fire size 2" Ranged Weapons of various types, but Compensating applies to hand weapons as well - the Heavy can swing Heavy Weapons as if they were hand weapons, Two Handed weapons as if they were Heavy Weapons, and 3" Melee Weapons as if they were two handed weapons.
The Heavy may not Bail, use Angry Inches, or use anyother form of movement while compensating.
Contagious Bite
Gunnery
(+1 CP) Units with the Gunnery Specialty specialize in mounted weapons. A Gunner's skill is increased to 1D8 for the operation of any mounted weapon or device.
A Gunner may use his action to provide Gunnery Support to a minifig firing a mounted weapon, adding +1 to that minifig's Attack Roll. Multiple Gunners can work together and combine their bonuses, but there can never be more minifigs working together on a single weapon than the number of inches in it's Weapon Size.
If a stationary weapon is firing at astationary target over multiple turns, a gunner may use Gunnery Support to Home In on the target, adding an additional +1 every turn. This bonus ends when either the target or the weapon moves, or if the weapon fires at a different target.
Heroic Ego
(+3 CP) The Hero refuses to be limited by logic or natural laws, taking one Heroic Feat per turn according to his or her Cliche.
A Hero becomes Cranky if forced to share the field with other heroic units. For every other conscious Heroic unit in his army, the Hero recieves -1 penalties to every die rolled (max -5 per die), and a -1CP discount to Cost at the beginning of the game (up to 50% off).
When taking damage, a Hero may inspire one nearby friendly unit (within 1D6') to Redshirt, leaping in the way and taking the damage on the Hero's behalf.
Horse
Please see Horse for details about the various forms of Horses in BrikWars.
Ker-Triage!
(+2 CP) Battlefield conditions leave no room for fancy-pants medicine like "sanitary disinfectant" or "Hippocratic Oaths." Instead, the brave field Medik relies on a single proven technique: Amputation, often of the multiple-limb or cranial variety.
If a fallen minifig or other Creature has at least one head attached, a Medik can use it's action to attempt to revive itby rolling on the Ker-Triage! Table. The Medik rolls a d8 if it has a suitable tool, or a d6 if it has any other cutting implement. Additional Medix can use their actions to assist, each increasing the die size once, to a maximum size of d12.
Leadership
(+1 CP) Under the direction of a trained Officer, Forming Up with a Squad doesn't use up any unit's Action for the turn.
Officer's Squads idnore the usual Action costs for forming, combining, splitting, or reorginizing. Actionless units may freely Form Up with the squad, and units with an Action to spend may put it to immediate use in support of the Squad's Action.

A Scout can use his Action to Target a single unit or object within 8". As long as the object is in the Scout's feild of vision, all his allies get a +1 Targeting skill Bonus to ranged attacks on the object.
Spidering
Stealth
