	Quote: I love that he said none of the devs are completionists.� I don't think any of us are even sure they have capped characters. I am absolutely positive they have capped characters. I am also absolutely positive shroud norm is their endgame.

My drow pale master has 3 wizard, 3 fvs and 2 sorc past lives.� Even with the Magister spell pen benefits, I'm seriously considering the benefits of TRing into an elf for the additional 4 spell pen available from enhancements.� Epic Drow are going to be all over the expansion, and I want to instakill them. It's not uncommon to encounter 49 SR in the current epic Drow content (SR = CR + 10 for Drow). Also, I'm currently halfway through my TR plan with 3x each wiz, sorc, fvs PLs for my 18/1/1 evoker FvS.� Even with the release of the Magister ED, I'm going to complete the remaining past lives.�

I like the way they've done it. The differance between single life (Or maybe 1-2 TR) and a multi TR toon will be marginal. Some people are OCD about getting the last drop of POWER!!! from a toon and they can still do TRs until their eyes bleed for that extra bit. The ones who prefer endgame grinding won't "Have" to TR again and again and again if they don't feel like it and still be decent (Assuming they have some gear and havn't attended the Snootch school of DDO play).

If you don't have a wiz PL you'll still be 1 dc behind what you should have, though Plus some of you are making dangerous assumptions, like destinies will be less grind than TRs (they probably won't) and new content will be more fun to run through than 850th run of wizking (it probably won't)

You only get +1 ability increase for epic levels. The formatting made it appear that you are getting 2 but you only get it at lvl 24. Like I posted in the other ed thread, this should put wf and humans on the same int modifier so only drow have a DC advantage (LOL).

	I also dont understand how you are calculating +9DC/+12DC in school. +6 Casting Stat = +3DC +1 Ability level up = +1DC (at best if it evens out your int) Chosen school= +3DC TOTAL = +4DC/+7DC chosen school Am i missing something here?

You're right. I mistakenly factored in Caster Level which only applies on the Spell Pen formula. A question I haven't seen answered is are they adding any spell levels.

As far as the grind goes, it probably will be more grindy than norm leveling, but can't see a first life lvl 25 being behind a multi TR lvl 20.

	Well, no, not the 5 levels prolly, but multiple destinies and such are bound to be horribad Plus, look at the kind of content they've been making recently - would you rather run wizking or shady 800 times or something like say schemes/MA 400 times?

I'm not sure how they're going to work out epic xp. What content qualifies etc. If all current epics will count, it won't be so bad.

Most damage spells except for polar ray are capped already (elec and cold dots are capped at lvl cl15).
