Specialization

Story so far

On entering the sixth floor, every crawler must queue in the The Staging Area and pass through a booth, even those whose classes cannot specialize. Each booth is an airplane-bathroom-sized room smelling of Lysol, with a sticky floor, an old-school television with a glowing coin slot, and a handwritten sign reading "Only one person per booth." A ten-minute countdown appears; chat is blocked inside; the menu cannot be clicked through, only watched; and if no choice is made a random one is applied. All previous class upgrades are retained.

Carl's Compensated Anarchist is required to specialize and is offered Revolutionary, Guerilla, and Agent Provocateur, each carrying an unexpected stat point boost and none penalizing the others. Katia's Monster Truck Driver name did not change but she chose among three endorsements, taking HAZMAT Endorsement. Princess Donut was offered the chance to make any class she already had permanent, and on Mordecai's advice refused. The voice reading the choices aloud is robotic and almost emotionless, unusual for the dungeon.
