Human Species discount on Specializations?

By orwelliancorellian, in Star Wars: Edge of the Empire RPG

Hi all,

I've recently grabbed up an excel sheet from the forums here that served as an index, and on that spreadsheet it listed the currently available species and referenced their specific abilities. Its a very helpful spreadsheet mind you, fairly up to date and everything Ive seen in it so far is on point. But I've hit a hiccup.

One of those special abilities listed, for humans, was the following which was in addition to the two free non-career skills at generation:

"When purchasing a new specialization, the character counts as possessing one fewer specializations than he actually does."

Which is the first Ive heard of it, Ive scoured my books, googled left and right, and I cant find any reference to this at all.

I mean it sounds awesome, and it makes sense to me, but is it an actual thing in the rules?

I'd go straight to the creator of the spreadsheet, but I cannot find them nor the original post I got it from.

That was the human species ability in the beta. It was removed for the full release.

That sounds like the Google Sheet I handed out on these forums. Yes, my wife and I opted to keep that in. I can't recall why now, though, no one ever uses it.
