==How do Specialist Retainers work?==
*Specialist Retainer is an ability found on datasheets for unique characters available to some factions. The characters are often called Specialist Retainers.
*They always count as as a specialist of their type. You can't take UR-025 as a non-specialist for example.
*They don't count towards your maximum limit of specialists. A Guard player could take a leader, a veteran, a medic, a demo, the Zealot Vorne, the Combat Gotfret, the Sniper Rein all in the same team.
*They DO prevent you from taking the same specialism twice. They ignore the limit on maximum number of specialism. They do not ignore the restriction on duplicates. No Rein AND a plasma Sniper for you, guardsman.
*Their specialist abilities are not listed on their datasheet unless it specifically says they are. So despite Gotfret having a A4 listed on his statline, like normal models this is before specialisms modify it. So because he is always a Combat Specialism, he actually always has A5. Datasheets that are already modified by their specialism explicitly say so (e.g. the premade Commanders like Ghyrson Starn and Feodor Lasko)
*While no single player can take multiple (so far they're all Max 1), there is no restriction on both you and another player taking the same character. So a Guard player and a Sisters player could have their Gotfrets face off in a mission.
