### Rank ###

----

**Specialist (1)**

: You have an unusual skill or knowledge, and as such you have a bit of seniority

: Example skills or knowledges might include:

: You have studied magic and are able to read the traces it leaves behind

: Your background has made you especially good at putting people at ease, so you have a real flair for gathering information from witnesses

: You've spent a significant amount of time in high tech Shadows and are familiar with a range of technology that might be of use in investigating crimes

: In the area of your skill or knowledge you will get extra information and except in the case of a significant stat disparity you're just better at things in this area than anyone who doesn't share your expertise.

**Detective (3)**

: You have been part of Thelbane CSI for years; you know the ropes and you're trusted.

: You'll get more leeway to do your own thing, and your hunches will be given weight. 

: You will also have two unusual skills or knowledges as per Specialist above

**Team Lead (5)**

: You're the boss. You get to pull rank, and this investigation is your baby.

: That does, of course, mean that all of the pressure from above will land squarely on your shoulders. 

: You will have three unusual skills or knowledges as per Specialist above.

: There's only one of these available, so first come, first served - and it is definitely not required that anyone take this.
