When/if this goes live, I am going to have to spend all week-end redoing all my toons. 

In the long run it should make for more fun, of course the opportunity to make some real gimps is going to be high, but heck at least I can (maybe) finally make that AA FvS I always wanted.

I think the intent is that you wouldn't "need" any particular enhancements, just some subset of the group of them in the tree, to get the PrE bonuses.

I'm sure Life Magic will be in the Radiant Servant tree.  My guess is it won't appear in the other trees.  Maybe weaker bonuses, that stack with the ones in Radiant Servant.

I expect most of the "Smiting" stuff will end up in the Exorcist of the Silver Flame tree, while any melee stuff will end up in Warpriest.

That seems likely, based on what we've been told so far.

My guess (entirely speculation) is there will be a 2 level delay, like Elven AA, but that's not a big deal.

But that will only let you take a tier 3 PRE if you stick with one race for all 20 levels!

There was clearly a rape in that toons past...

No, it makes for either a very sore or completely unsatisfied mother.

Ok, I was completely wrong on the number of PrE's.  It's three TOTAL.  Period.  One can be a racial PrE but does not have to be.  You can spend points in your 'generic' racial tree without purchasing a racial PrE but if you do purchase a racial PrE then that tree replaces one of the other ones.

Here's the kicker.

She's normal-sized.

I can additionally confirm the Race +3 Tree thing. I also PMed for clarification. Here was my response:

Your Rogue/Fighter could swap all three of the selectable trees for the fighter trees if it likes. You have one tree locked to your race, and then the three customizable trees that can be anything you have unlocked.

2. Would a 2 lvl splash still give you access to 1 of the splash-class's PrE trees? You could select a bunch of abilities, but you would NOT get the T1 PrE stuff free or whatever. Yes? 

A 2 level splash could replace all three of their trees with those from the splash class, but due to level restrictions on enhancements they'll probably be restricted to the bottom two rows of enhancements, and won't get the free ones. (Those require levels 3/6/9/12/15/18/20.)

ANY indication as to when this stuff will hit Lama at all? Week, Month, 6 months? 

Can't give that information out yet.

One more for fun, I asked Mad about Cleric Domains, his response:

Great question, but I don't have an answer at the moment. I need to challenge Eladrin with this.

Question: Domains. Will we see them?

Definitely yes?
Probably yes?
50/50?
Probably not?
Definitely not?



Will they possibly get folded into this new system somehow?

There has hardly been a new thought in that thread for like 300+ posts. I was trying to keep up on it; every time I catch up I wonder why I read what I just read.

Short answer for both of those = I have no idea. Nothing the devs have given us even begin to answer those two questions. The savant one in particular should be interesting with them separating the trees. Can you only up your acid damage if you spend AP in the earth savant tree? There is only 3 trees, but 4 main elements.. So you have to pick an element with NO enhancements??!

I'm as interested to know as you.

Overall though, I'm pumped about the changes.
