I see where you mean in CoC 6
but weirdly that is just a 'pick specialities' option in 7.
Can't see why they'd change that feature.
The editor is an option, but its something of a steeper learning curve.
(given we're playing teens in this game it is also a pain not to be able to drop age to 18 or education lower than 40 (my biker is no academic))
