Also Called

 * Jack-Of-One-Stat
 * Min-Maxing
 * Overspecialization

Capabilities
Users either have the ability to strengthen certain skills or powers that they have at the cost of making unaffected skills far weaker in comparison, or are naturally inclined to overspecialization in certain aspects of their skills. Essentially, they are minimizing certain abilities to maximize others. For example, if a character wants to enhance themselves to gain Supernatural Speed, they would often trade for this in the form of their Supernatural Durability, turning them from a wall into a glass cannon.

Applications (Examples)
