So? Does this mean that we'll get more info on the 18th about the changes? Maybe a playtest?

I don't know if we'll get a playtest, but I recall Ray saying last year that they'd be doing lots of surveys.

The prof per day conversion may be easier than it looks st first blush, if you look at the progression math.

For monks, maybe. But not warlocks. Their slots don't line up with the prof bonus.

Maybe, maybe not.

Xanathar's Guide started testing in 2016, Tasha's started testing in 2019. I wouldn't expect specific tests for the new Core books to begin in earnest for about a year.

And they started that, with several in the past year.

"The coming year" has two possible meanings that I can see. The first being literally all of 2023, as that is the coming year. Or second being in business-speak and meaning the next four quarters, or releases from Sept 2022-Aug 2023.

I really hope so. I'd like to see what they're planning to give feedback. Even if I'm drowned out by others, I'd at least like to feel like it's possible to have some minor sway on the incoming changes.

Prof bonus with a multiplier, I think would work.

The latter interpretation seems likely. Though Magic we should hear about through the end of 2023.

Absolutely. They can massage the numbers. My point was that the simplest way to do it was the recharge twice per long rest ability rather than rework the numbers, etc. Not that one worked and the other didn't. For me, simplicity is key. Baking in a twice per long-rest recharge does all the work without having to change anything but add that one line.
