[QUOTE="fba827, post: 5317308, member: 807"] I do not have HotFL, but I can answer some of your questions based on previews they did last month ... It has been spelled out before as being two encounters. However, the DMG goes on to have a few paragraphs about how the DM is justified in altering this slightly, making a very difficult encounter count as a whole milestone, or saying that two very minor encounters aren't enough to count. So, yes, it was always spelled out. But spelled out in more detail in the DMG for DMs to feel free to adjust as needed based on exceptional difficulty or exceptional ease. I don't know if you noticed it (or if I'm just misunderstanding) but they all do have separate experience tables, but the experience advancement rate (i.e. xp needed) is the same for all of them. The way the preview is worded, you are getting your normal power progression, and then at certain points you are getting bonus powers (that are pre-chosen for you based on the domain that you picked; you can not get storm domain powers for your bonus abilities if you picked sun, for instance). But it's basically choosing to specialized package of bonus abilities. You can still pick your regular cleric powers as normal for any class. Whether that is explained differently with the full rules text I don't know. Just stating the above based on the preview. Give them time, I am sure we will see new books with more domains that just haven't been announced yet ;) Also, the fact that in the cleric domain stuff it says "Two of these domains are described below" makes it sound like there are more, but only two are mentioned here. Well, there is Heroes of Shadow coming out early next year. One of the builds in there is called Necromancer. A theory floating around the boards is that the necromancer will be another wizard school specialist. It's all just rumor and speculation at this point. But as to whether there will be more books, I can't imagine that WotC won't have more books to expand on things like this. I don't know if the book is different than the preview, but the preview says it is "Aura 1" which means it's a 1 square around the knight in all directions (so any adjacent enemies). The knight is just another build option. The fighter does have some benefits over knight. It's really about play style and preferences. Without seeing the wording, I don't know. But if they describe what type of bonus it is, bonuses of the same type don't stack. So it one says +2 feat bonus, another says +1 bonus, and another says +3 feat bonus, you'd get +4 total (the two feat bonuses don't stack so you take the better one, which is +3, and then the +1 bonus doesn't have a type, so it stacks with anything, even other untyped bonuses) [/QUOTE]
