+### Rank ###
+
+----
+
+**Specialist (1)**
+

+
+: 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.
