Officer Specialization
Next, let's take a look at the Officer Specialization tree. This tree allows the Officer to specialize in and receive abilities useable only with 1-Handed melee weapons, Pistols and Battle armor. It also includes the opportunity to gain permanent bonuses to important skill statistic modifiers.
Specialization in Swordsmanship will make enemies think twice about getting too close to the Officer with punishing abilities like Decapitate and Crippling Vortex. For those who would rather maintain their distance specialization in Pistols is possible. You can not only improve your own personal performance with Pistols but also the performance of your entire group should you elect to purchase the Pistol Drillmaster ability.
A number of enhancements are available that give the officer increased personal defense while wearing a full suit of Battle Armor. Aside from bonuses to Energy and Kinetic protections, the Officer can gain improved healing and the ability to cure themselves of a number of harmful states and conditions.
Detailed descriptions of the individual abilities and bonuses can be found below.

As you can see, Officers are receiving a wide range of new abilities to choose from that will improve their ability to support their groups, increase their combat viability and solidify their defense against their enemies. I hope you enjoyed this first look at the new Officer Expertise that are coming your way in the next chapter.
Have a great weekend!
