Additional Information

To choose the weapon type, you need to be holding your desired weapon type when you learn the maneuver, you can't specialize in bows or crossbows, only in bolts and arrows.

Specialization II and III work in the same manner as Specialization I, allowing for up to a total of three separate weapon specializations.
