[HELP] Savage Worlds Tabbed skill specialization

The character sheet has a checkbox for skill specialization, and I can get extra skill options on the sheet. However, the way skill specialization works mechanically is that the standard skill roll should always be at -2, unless it's a specialized skill.So under "Fighting", I should be able to add a Specialization called "Fists", and Fists should roll normally while Fighting rolls at -2. But that's not happening. Am i doing something wrong, or is it just not implemented?

I didn't implement it that way because, by my interpretation, if there isn't an applicable specialization the Fighting roll (or any other skill for that matter) would not be at -2; the -2 only applies if there is a specialization that should be used instead. What I do is apply the -2 as needed via the ttmod field (I usually set up the tokens so the green bubble is ttmod, the blue bubble is dmgmod, and the red bubble is wounds; that way if a -2 needs to be applied, I just put the -2 in the green bubble and it applies to the roll. If enough people feel the implementation needs to be changed, however, I can get that in the pipeline...
That's a decent point, there are skills that don't have specializations, like Climbing. I will see if the ttmod and dmgmod work for us. I haven't ever used skill specialization, but I'd like to in the next game I GM.   Thanks for making such awesome sheets, by the way. It's a huge improvement over sharing out Google Docs for our character stat blocks and then using a set of macros that play Twenty Questions before they roll.
