I think I found a typo...
On PG 6 under the heading Halfling Thief,
Most Dwarven Thieves are "Scouts" (see the "Scout"
specialty, below)

Other than that it seems to be rules for things that should be
the province of creativity and imagination. If everyone understands
that it is a crutch and anything that the DM and or Player can come
up with is as valid as the 'rules'.

It seems to me that Weapon Master is the strongest option for Fighters. The bonus seems more dependable than similar specialties, and the extra attack is earlier than the Demihuman Warrior specialties. It's also the least imaginative option (IMHO), making its strength doubly damning in my eyes.

Is there any other way to gain extra attacks?
